Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants without soil. From the Greek HYDRO meaning water and PONOS meaning work or toil. The water does the work of transporting nutrients to the roots.

Hydroponics allows the grower a high degree of control over what the plant is fed and the plant can be provided with all its nutrients in a form that makes them very easy to take up.

Hydroponically grown plants do not need to form extensive root systems, unlike soil grown plants which need to go out looking for their nutrients.

They grow many fibrous roots and take up food and water very efficiently. This means that they can devote more energy into foliage, flowers and fruits.
