      Hydroponics is a way of growing plants that doesn’t use soil. The roots of the plants are placed in a mineral nutrient solution only, so they still get the nutrients they need to grow but without actually planting them in the ground.

      Gosh you love your plant stuff, well done:)

      The word, Hydroponic, comes from Latin and means working water.
      Simply put, it is growing plants without soil.

      Hydroponics is the process of growing plans without soil. All required nutrients are fed by water. It has several advantages. using hydroponic gardening techniques, gardeners don’t have to worry about – weeding, soil borne diseases, when to fertilize, spraying pesticides, labours for cultivation, tilling, soil texture, and more. With this technique, big better results are expected in short time.
