Hydroponics is an alternative way to grow plants in a water and mineral solution, without soil. The plants need to have their roots submerged in this liquid or in a growing medium like gravel, perlite or other interesting materials like a bowl of marbles. This method of growing live plants was discovered in the 18th century, when scientists found that plants absorb the mineral nutrients they need from ions in water. It is also a useful way to grow plants in locations where there is no good soil. Sunshine Systems and other manufacturers have developed special lighting so hydroponic growing is not limited to sunny areas. This method of plant growth is used in science, but many persons today also enjoy growing live house plants using hydroponics.

Growing live plants with hydroponics is economical and ecologically sound. Water is reused, and nothing is released from nutrients into the environment. Controlling plant pests or disease is easier. This is an ideal growing environment for live house plants. The type of equipment and other materials needed for growing live house plants is simple and affordable. Some precautions are needed to prevent problems that arise from high humidity combined with fertilizer.

The type of equipment and supplies required to grow live house plants with hydroponics includes pH control kits, indoor grow lights, reflective Mylar film, humidity trays, organic growing mediums, and other products from specialty manufacturers like Sunshine Systems, Flora and Organica. These products are easily found in the Sears catalog that features hydroponics. Simple starter kits can get you into this interesting hobby quickly.

Growing live house plants in a hydroponic medium is an activity that can bring a new dimension to home decorating. There are many types of containers and accessories that can be used for hydroponics, including decorative glass containers and covered trays. Plants can thrive in a liquid root environment; this method for growing indoor live house plants can help humidify rooms in drier climates. Care is easy, because the water can be reused. This also saves on water bills. Some people enjoy developing very large hydroponic armsindoors and outdoors.

Hydroponics is not a new idea, but it is an alternative to working with messy soils and soil problems that can affect house plants. For healthier indoor plants, consider using hydroponics. Find all the materials and accessories needed for growing live house plants with hydroponics in the Sears Lawn and Garden catalog of Live House Plants and Hydroponics.
