This is what is
left, what I have available after changing my collection of plants from the
soil into granules of clay.
Hydroculture is a form of passive hydroponics and a
way of growing plants without soil. Passive hydroponics systems often use an
inert growing medium such as clay pebbles instead of soil. If you haven't
experimented with hydroponics before, then passive hydroponics and hydroculture
is a great way to get started
Hydroculture system is
often made up of five simple parts:
Pot
liners
Pot liners are often
used in hydroculture and other forms of gardening to make easy work of moving
plants between containers. Pots used for display purposes, waterproof and encourage
the development of a smaller, more manageable root zone in plants placed in
large outer containers.
Culture
pots
The culture pot is the
heart of the hydro system, available on the market in many different sizes to
accommodate an assortment of plants. Fitting snugly into the outer pot, it is
made of plastic with slits all around the base that guarantee maximum air flow
through the growing medium and the root zone. The design of the culture pot
also allows for a water level indicator to be attached firmly. With its concave
bottom, only the external portion of the pot makes contact with the outer pot
and the nutrient solution. The special design of the culture pot assures that
the plant’s root are not growing in water; they are growing above the water,
surrounded by the clay pellets, which draw the moisture up by capillary action
from the supply in the outer pot. Roots are never wet, just evenly moist.
Water
level indicator
The water level
indicator (with adjustable memory scale for the next fertilization month),
resembling a thermometer, fits neatly into a slot in the culture-pot and is
used as a water gauge. There are three markers on the indicator: min (minimum),
opt (optimum), max (maximum). The marker in the indicator rises as water is
added and falls as the water is used up by the plant. When the indicator
reaches the minimum level, it signifies that the pot is completely empty and
it’s time to add water. The water level should always be kept at the opt
(optimum) level. Only under special circumstances should you fill the pot to
the max (maximum) mark, such as extended absences from home.
