FAQ About Indoor Plant Symptom Diagnosis

Root rot in indoor plants is often caused by overwatering and poor soil drainage. When roots remain in consistently wet soil, they lack oxygen and begin to decay. Fungal infections, such as those from Phytophthora or Pythium, can also lead to root rot, which is exacerbated by waterlogged conditions. To prevent root rot, ensure pots have drainage holes, use well-draining soil, and allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
