FAQ About Indoor Plant Symbiotic Relationships

What are the differences between mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism in plant symbiosis?

Mutualism is a type of symbiosis where both organisms benefit, such as plants and mycorrhizal fungi. Commensalism involves one organism benefiting while the other remains unaffected. Parasitism, which is not ideal for plant health, involves one organism benefiting at the expense of the other.
