FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Additives

Why is it important to balance moisture-retentive and aerating additives in indoor plant soil?

Finding the right balance between moisture-retentive and aerating additives is crucial to prevent overwatering and ensure adequate oxygen reaches plant roots. Overly compact or wet soils can lead to root rot, while too much drainage may deprive plants of necessary moisture, leading to dehydration. Tailoring the mix to individual plant needs promotes healthier growth.
