Do hydroponic plants get diseases? Yes. The diseases that can attack your hydroponic plants will depend on the type of plants you are growing and their environment. The common causes of plant disease fall into three categories: 1) fungus, Typical signs of plant disease are spotting, swelling on its stems and leaves, death of foliage and flowers, and discoloration of bark and stems.Hydroponics, derived from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (labor); means ""water-working."" Basically hydroponics involves growing plants with their roots in solution alone or in an inert or non-reactive media; that is using no soil.

Why is aeration important? Sufficient aeration of the root is vital in hydroponic plants. It is essential for obtaining the fuel that the plants need in order to grow. Adequate aeration will promote fast-growing and healthy plants.

What is Hydroponic Gardening? Hydroponics is simply gardening without soil. Soilless growing medias such as perlite/peat-lite or perlite/vermiculite or other combined mixes, have little of the nutrients that the plant would normally leach from the soil. In this respect, nutrient for the plant has to be added in water-soluble form. Hydroponic fertilizer is added to the water containing the minerals that the plant needs to sustain pot is one of the tools used in hydroponics. It is available in various sizes.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using hydroponics and growing indoors? There are many advantages and disadvantages to gardening indoors using hydroponics. Lets start off with some of the advantages: Growing hydroponically allows for bigger, healthier plants that usually grow faster and produce more fruit. When growing indoors and using the proper lighting, most plants will go from seed to flower in as little as 3 months or less. Since you are growing indoors with the aid of artificial lighting, you can decide when to pot is one of the tools used in hydroponics.

What should I use for a light source? Light is, of course, one of the principal requirements for plant growth in a hydroponic system. Most cultivated plants need sunlight. However, when you grow plants indoors, artificial light is usually necessary. The intensity of the light that you are going to use must be high but make sure that it does not increase the temperature. Fluorescent lights offer indoor plants a type of light most similar to sunlight.pH stands for Potential of Hydrogen and is the symbol for the hydrogen ion (H+) in liquids. pH has a range from 0 (acidic) -14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. For hydroponics we are aiming for a pH between 5.5 to 6.2 (slightly acidic); this is suitable for most hydroponic crops. For soil, we want the pH a little higher but still slightly acidic; around 6.0 to 6.5. Ensuring that the pH remains within this range will help maintain good plant health.

What is Hydroponic Gardening and what are it's advantages? Simply put, hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants, without soil, by providing food and water directly to the roots of the plant. By doing so, we eliminate the need for the root system to look for food and water, so the energy normally used by the plant to search for food is used for faster upward growth and fruit production. Since we don't have competing root systems, we can grow significantly more plants using hydroponics in a given area than those grown in soil.Light is, of course, one of the principal requirements for plant growth in a hydroponic system.
