Hydroponics is a modern way of growing plants without soil, where the plants get their nutrients from liquid food. Instead of in soil, the plants grow in a system with water and minerals that are offered directly to their roots. This provides the plants with all the nutrients they need, in an efficient way.
Maintenance and ideal application
Plants like Clusia and Monstera do well in hydroponic systems because these hardy plants can benefit from the constant supply of nutrients and controlled environment.
Scientific basis and origin
Hydroponics is based on the idea that plants can grow well in water with the right nutrients, without the need for soil. This method has been around for some time, but modern hydroponics has mainly developed in the 20th century. It offers a smart way to grow plants in a controlled environment, which is especially useful for growing crops in urban areas or in areas with limited land. With hydroponics, plants such as Clusia and Monstera can grow in an optimally regulated environment, which leads to healthy and vigorous growth. This innovative system makes it possible to grow a wide variety of plants with less water and space, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable way of gardening.
