Well, you have grown plants many times in soil, but have you ever tried this simple method (hydroponic gardening). It is a technique where you need no soil to grow your plants. It’s a great method, which helps you grow whatever you want and at any time without worrying about what the environment is doing outside. Unlike soil plants, hydroponic plants don’t take too much space, unless you allow them. The best part is, water plants can grow faster than the ground one.

Plus, you can grow them anywhere in your home, whether in the kitchen, living room or dining halls.

Hydroponics, as the name suggests, “Hydro” means water and “ponos” means work. In a hydroponic system, water does the work to deliver all the nutrients to plants as the soil does.

To grow a plant, you need to give them sun, carbon dioxide (Co2), water and nutrients. In a traditional system (soil), plant roots have to look for these essentials in soil bed and spread its root, which in turn withdraw a lot of plants reserve energy. But in the case of hydroponic systems, nutrients uniformly spread in the water around the plants roots. That’s why it is easier for hydroponic plants to get all essentials easily and need not spread its roots in search of food which saves its energy and turns into its growth.

In the market, there are a wide variety of hydroponic systems. In some systems, plants swim in the water whereas some plants grow in some kind of soil substitute (like peat moss, aged bark, coconut fibre, perlite). The bonus: as there’s no room for the soil on which many pests and disease survive, there is less chance your plants suffer. Plus, you need less water in the hydroponic system than traditional methods.
