Would you like to purchase office plants at the office, but are unsure between regular houseplants or hydroponic plants? Hydroponic plants what exactly is that? Hydroponic office plants have been in high demand in recent years, because this particular method of care can guarantee a very long life.
Choosing hydroponic plants or not?
To answer this question, we have listed the 10 most frequently asked questions about hydroponic plants for you.
1. What exactly are hydroponic plants?
A hydroponic plant is a plant, which has worked roots. This leads to the fact that the plant is not in potting soil, but in small clay pellets. These grains absorb water and release it to the plant, this way the plant always has enough water.
2. Can hydroponic plants be placed anywhere indoors?
Because hydroponic plants require less water, they are especially popular in offices. This is because the care of hydroponic plants is easier than natural plants. Therefore, hydroponic plants are perfect for any indoor space.
3. What are the differences between natural plants and hydroponic plants?
Actually, there are no differences, only the contents of the pot are different. The plants themselves will flower in the same way. However, the content of the pot of a hydroponic plant is somewhat smaller.
4. Do hydroponic plants have a longer lifespan than regular plants?
Hydroponic plants are easier to maintain because you don’t have to water as often. The lifespan of each plant depends partly on its care, but in this case there is less risk of the plant drying out. So, theoretically, hydroponic plants can last longer.
5. Do I need a special pot for hydroponic plants?
Hydroponic plants can be placed in almost all types of pots. However, the plant must remain in the growing pot at all times, so you will need to purchase an ornamental pot in which the growing pot fits. The ornamental pot should also be deep enough so that the clay granules can make a sufficiently large water reserve. So take a pot at least one size larger than the growing pot.
6. Can I purchase both very large or and very small hydroponic plants?
You can purchase hydroponic plants in every imaginable shape and size. This allows you to place hydroponic plants anywhere from an atrium to a desk.
7. Can I purchase all types of plants in hydroponic mode?
In addition to all sizes, hydroponic plants also come in almost all varieties. The only plant that is not (however) available as a hydroponic plant is the orchid.
8. Is the care of hydroponic plants complicated?
No, absolutely not! Every hydroponic plant has a water meter, on which you can read how much water the pot currently contains. One small note: this meter is always slightly delayed. If the water level is at about half, this is generally fine. Refill water once every other week so that the gauge drops again. This will prevent low water at the bottom and thus root rot.
9. How much do hydroponic plants cost?
Hydroponic plants are not much, but always slightly more expensive than regular plants. This is because of the processed potting soil in the form of clay pellets. On the other hand, hydroponic plants will last longer because of less complicated care, so you may be less likely to have to buy a new plant.
