FAQ About Indoor Plant Root System Exploration

How does soil compaction affect root health?

Soil compaction can significantly affect root health by creating a dense environment that restricts root growth and impedes water and oxygen flow. This can lead to a lack of oxygenation and water retention, resulting in poor nutrient absorption and overall reduced plant health. Aerating the soil and ensuring it is not too compacted can help maintain a healthy root system.
