What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel or Rockwool. A variety of techniques exist.

The term hydroponics is derived from Greek and literally means ‘working water’. Many people use the term hydroponics to describe any methods of growing that does not use soil (although some scientists dispute this definition) and in that sense ancient peoples such as the Babylonians and Aztecs used hydroponics, as nutrients were obtained from other sources. The mineral nutrient solutions used today for hydroponics were not developed until the 1800s.
