Basics
What Is Hydroponics
Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants in liquid nutrient solutions rather than in soil. It provides a more direct and efficient way to feed plants with nutrients.
The essential elements for plants to grow are:
- Air
- Food - Nutrients (Macro-elements and Trace elements)
- Water
- Sunlight
The environmental factors such as light, temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, nutrients can be fully controlled. Hence, vegetables, fruits, herbal plants and even flowers are cultivated in an ideal environment determined by the grower.
Why Hydroponics?
- No weeds
- Small quantities of fertilisers used
- No soil-borned diseases
- Nutrients uniformly distributed to all plants
- Efficient water use
How Does It Work?
What Are The Benefits
Plants can be grown anywhere.There is no need to source for fertile land as in soil cultivation. All you need is a controlled environment.
No sterilization of growing media required and plant nutrition is easily and completely controlled within the nutrient tanks.
No weeds, no cultivation, no soil borne diseases or insects. Allows for uniform water availability to plants.
Eco-friendly. In the Hydroponics greenhouse, there is no need for harmful pesticides. The produce is absolutely pesticide-free!
The growing medium and the nutrient solutions have recycle values.
Besides offering superb quality, taste and nutritional value, the pesticide-free hydroponics produce is also easy to rinse hence saves time and effort.
