FAQ About Indoor Plant Root System Exploration

The size of the pot can greatly affect root development. A pot that is too small can restrict root growth and lead to a plant becoming root-bound, where roots wrap around within the limited space. Conversely, a pot that is too large can lead to water retention issues and root rot, as the soil may stay moist for too long without the roots effectively absorbing water. Choosing the right size pot ensures optimal root growth and overall plant health.
