The Basics of Hydroponics

Hydroponics refers to the science of growing plants without using soil. Normally, in order to grow, plants derive nutrients from the soil. But with hydroponic gardening, plants are placed in hydroponic systems where they can directly get essential nutrients that are dissolved in water. Depending on the system used, the roots of the plant may be suspended in, misted with, or flooded with the solution containing the necessary nutrients.

However, some hydroponic plants may require more than the basic hydroponic system setup.

Care for Hydroponic Plants

As with soil-based gardens, hydroponic plants require good pest and disease control habits too. The alternative is the same as with ‘ordinary’ gardens: spindly or dead plants. Since the majority of hydroponic plants are fruits and vegetables, that means: plants not worth eating. (yeah, we're into baked goods too!)

When taking care of hydroponic plants, there are a lot of factors to consider, such as:

• water and nutrient control

• the pH level of the solution

• light control (light is pretty much self-regulating in soil-based gardens).

Hydroponic gardeners have to exercise additional care when using any disease or pest control method, as well.

Due to the lack of soil, it’s easier to damage a plant when dinking with the leaves and stems. That means, for example, that if you pick off mites by hand, you're likely going to suffer come harvest time! It’s very important to exercise extra care here. Trust us, we're experts! (no seriously, we are - we have badges and pins that say so!)
