Can TerraCottem cause root rot?
No. Root rot is often caused by a surplus of water in the growing medium, where poor soil structure prevents the water from draining off or being used effectively by the plant, and limits or prevents oxygen from circulating, eventually asphyxiating plant roots. In soil treated with TerraCottem, water absorbed by the product is not free, but contained within the hydroabsorbent polymers and is kept available for plant demand. As plants only absorb the water that they need, the rest remains in the product. These swollen particles open up and aerate the growing medium, minimizing the risk of compaction and root rot.
