Hydroponic gardening FAQs

Why are hydroponics gardens used in classrooms?

Education relies on hands-on use to teach abstract principles. Many schools teaching biology do not have access to parcels of land so students can watch a seed germinate. However, with a hydroponics system students can create an indoor ecosystem and watch the principles of life in action.

How do I use natural light for my hydroponics garden?

Placement of your plants is critical to the success of their growth. Collect plants with similar growing requirements and place them in the same system. Herbs and vegetables benefited from being placed one to 2 feet from a sunny window. And don't forget about the house lights: even your normal indoor lights can help the plants grow.


What are some potential problems I can run into with hydroponics?

Not every hydroponically grown plant is a success. While hydroponics can grow plants with larger fruit than traditional soil gardens, some plants will encounter problems. You may see wilting, nitrogen deficiency, and pests and diseases. Most of these problems can be solved by consulting an expert at your hydroponics store.
