FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Moisture Management
Why is it important to avoid compacted soil in plant pots?
Compacted soil can restrict air flow to plant roots and hinder water absorption, leading to water-logged conditions and potential root rot. To avoid compaction, regularly aerate the soil by gently loosening it with a stick or fork. Choosing soil mixes with ample organic matter and drainage components also helps maintain a loose, breathable soil structure.
