Are low soluble salts good for indoor plants?

On One Hand: Low Soluable Salts Are Not Good For Indoor PlantsIn general salts are not good for indoor plants. Soluble salts can be handled by thoroughly watering the plants and leaching away the salt. But low soluble salts will not leach away as easily and thus can build up and damage the plants by burning their roots.On the Other: Fertilizers Are Basically SaltsFertilizers are basically salts and need to be removed with water. Over-watering is also a big problem for indoor house plants. The best thing to do is remove fertilizer from the pot when received from the grower and then to very rarely fertilize your indoor plants. This way you will not need to over-water them to remove the salt.Bottom LineToo much salt will burn the roots of your indoor plants and too much water will rot the roots of these plants. In door plants should be very rarely fertilized and not over-watered.
