FAQ About Indoor Plant Root System Exploration

What are root rot and how can it be identified?

Root rot is a disease that affects plant roots, often caused by overwatering or poorly draining soil, leading to fungal infection. It is characterized by soft, brown, or blackened roots that may emit a foul odor. To identify root rot, inspect the roots by gently removing the plant from its pot and looking for these signs. If detected early, treatment involves removing affected roots and improving soil drainage.
