Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

What are the signs of an unhealthy root zone microbiome?

Signs of an unhealthy root zone microbiome include poor plant growth, yellowing of leaves, wilting, and increased susceptibility to diseases. The presence of root rot, characterized by brown and mushy roots, is also indicative of an imbalance or pathogenic dominance in the root zone.

Loss of microbial diversity and a decrease in beneficial organisms can lead to nutrient deficiencies and structural issues within the soil.
