What can be grown using hydroponics?

The answer to this common question is simple: almost anything that grows! Today’s article highlights, for inspiration, plants that are suitable for cultivation using individual hydroponic systems and that are also long-time favourites among growers focused on hydroponics.

Indoor gardening and hydroponics is a powerful combination, thanks to which it does not matter that it is cold outside. 

• Hydroponic growing makes it easier to cultivate many types of vegetables, which will then delight you at harvest time with larger and tastier produce, whether it is tomatoes, peppers, chilli peppers, lettuces or other leafy vegetables.
• Investing in one of the hydroponic systems allows you to secure a year-round supply of top-quality vitamins without having to battle mould, pests or other commonly widespread plant diseases. Are you interested in which hydroponic system to choose according to the type of vegetable you plan to grow most?
• Juicy, flavourful tomatoes, as well as classic peppers or chilli peppers, can certainly be grown successfully, for example, with the help of the popular hydro systems Atami Wilma, which are available in many variants, so everyone can choose according to their own needs, and they also allow versatile use for growing other plants. You will not go wrong with the Flo Gro system either, or do not hesitate to use a quality bubbler.
• Classic NFT systems or vertical NFT systems are ideal for growing lettuces and leafy vegetables.

• Indoor growers devoted to hydroponics, and of course their friends or customers too, most often enjoy the intense aroma and the composition rich in health-beneficial substances also in the case of herbs such as mint, basil, thyme, sage and many others.

OUR TIP: The light-coloured, design grow tents Homebox Ambient are so elegant that they will become a decoration even directly in your kitchen, so you can always have fragrant herbs close at hand while cooking throughout the year. You can read more in a separate article HERE.

• When growing herbs or microgreens in the kitchen, growers and homemakers who value fresh ingredients often encounter small pests that can spoil both the joy and the results of herb growing. Thanks to hydroponics, you can forget about them again. Products Nutriculture X-Stream are very useful for cultivating various types of herbs for home use.
• If we move away from everything that is part of a varied diet to other types of plants, hydroponics opens the door, for example, to the effective cultivation of ornamental plants, including dracaena, also known as dragon tree, as well as dumb cane (diefenbachie), monstera, fig tree or ivy. Among flowering species, you can start for example with African violets, and in hydroponics we very often also encounter tulips, daffodils and other bulb plants or, for example, various types of orchids.
• For the ornamental and flowering plants mentioned above, the hydroponic systems Atami Wilma, Flo Gro or bubblers will again serve you very well.
