Hydroponics: Growing Plants in Water Without Soil

Hydroponics: Mineral Nutrient Solution Replaces Soil

Hydroponics (a hydroculture type) grows plants in water + mineral nutrients, no soil. Roots in solution only or in perlite, gravel, coconut husk. Soil is just a nutrient reservoir—not essential. Nutrients must be dissolved for root uptake; hydroponics supplies them directly. Almost any plant works.
