FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Microbial Interactions
What are soil microbes and how do they interact with indoor plants?
Soil microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, are microscopic organisms that live in the soil. They play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and soil health. These microbes form symbiotic relationships with indoor plants by aiding in the breakdown of organic matter, improving nutrient uptake, and promoting plant growth. For instance, mycorrhizal fungi extend the plant's root system, allowing better absorption of water and nutrients.
