The right quality hydroponic systems can play a huge role in the successful growing of plants. But first of all… what actually is hydroponics, and where can you look if you are interested in hydroponic systems of the highest order?
Hydroponics, of course, is a technique for plant growth that involves the use of mineral nutrient solutions, with the plants being grown in water but without soil. It’s possible for terrestrial plants to be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only, or you may want to have them in an inert medium such as mineral wool, coconut husk, gravel or perlite.
It’s possible to trace the history of hydroponics back to the discovery, in the 18th century, that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients in water as inorganic ions. When plants are grown naturally, the soil serves as a mineral nutrient reservoir, but believe it or not, soil is not actually required in order for the plant to grow.
The soil’s mineral nutrients, after all, are able to be absorbed by the plant’s roots once the nutrients are dissolved in water, whilst, if the mineral nutrients are artificially introduced into the water supply of the plant, there is no need for soil if the plant is to thrive.
Hydroponic systems, then, allow you to grow plants using this method – which, by the way, has become a standard element of biology research and testing in addition to being possible for use with almost any terrestrial plant.
