Hydroponics, is the process of growing plants in a grow medium such as water, gravel/stone, and clay pellets etc. with added nutrients but without soil.

There are various types of Hydroponics

- Deep Water Culture (DWC) - Plant are grown in a growing medium, which is suspended in a solution of nutrient-rich, oxygenated water.


- Ebb and Flow -Pots are filled with an inert medium which does not function like soil or contribute nutrition to the plants but which anchors the roots and functions as a temporary reserve of water and solvent mineral nutrients. The hydroponic solution alternately floods the system and is allowed to ebb away.




- Aeroponics - is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate media
