FAQ About Indoor Plant Root Zone Microbiology

What is the root zone microbiome of indoor plants?
The root zone microbiome, also known as the rhizosphere microbiome, of indoor plants is a complex community of microorganisms that live in the soil immediately surrounding the plant roots. These include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and archaea, all of which interact with one another and the plant itself.
These microorganisms play crucial roles in the plant's overall health, including helping with nutrient uptake, protecting against pathogens, and promoting growth.
