Indoor Plant Sourcing and Ethical Practices

FAQ About Indoor Plant Sourcing and Ethical Practices

What is the impact of monoculture in plant nurseries on sustainability?

Monoculture in plant nurseries—growing a single plant species extensively—can lead to biodiversity loss and increased pest and disease problems, necessitating more chemical inputs. It also reduces soil health over time. Sustainable practices encourage polyculture, which involves growing a variety of species that can support each other and improve resilience, soil health, and reduce dependence on chemical inputs.
