Hydroponic technology- Water Culture

February 28th, 2009

There’s another Hydroponic system other than the Wick system which is the simplest of all the active hydroponic methods. It’s called Water Culture. A platform usually made of Styrofoam holds the plants directly above the nutrient solution. In addition to this, an air pump, because as we all know plants need oxygen, supplies air to an air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots. A nice little method, that can be made at home with an old water tight container. They’ve probably made it on Blue Peter. It’s ideal for the growth of lettuces, not however for large or long-term plants
