FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Microbial Interactions
What types of soil microbes are most beneficial for indoor plants?
The most beneficial soil microbes for indoor plants include mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and decomposer bacteria and fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi enhance nutrient and water uptake. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, and decomposer microbes help break down organic matter into nutrients accessible to plants.
