FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Microbial Interactions

What are mycorrhizal fungi, and how do they benefit indoor plants?

Mycorrhizal fungi are a type of beneficial fungus that forms symbiotic relationships with plant roots. They extend the plant's root system by forming a network of filaments in the soil, which improves water and nutrient absorption, particularly phosphorus. They also enhance the plant's resistance to root diseases and environmental stress.
