What is hydroculture?

Hydroculture is the science of growing plants in water, with no soil or peat mix involved. Using water-tight planters, the plants are located firmly using light, sterile and porous clay granules as a planting medium.

The roots of hydroculture plants are thick and succulent in marked contrast to the thin fibrous roots of soil grown plants and by using a specialy formulated liquid nutrient solution rich in essential elements we can ensure health. The result is that hydroculture plants absorb nutrients directly from the water in which they are grown. Smaller root systems are developed so that plants of impressive height can be grown in relatively shallow containers.
