What is hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without a growing medium. The plants grow in water containing nutrients (fertilizer). A hydroponic garden can come in the form of a green wall, as you will find at Vinea Green. With this method, the green wall in your home will last you for many years and provide a high-quality and healthy yield of vegetables. We have compiled all the information you need to know about a hydroponic garden, so that you can explain to friends and family what you have on the wall at home. We recommend making a hydroponic wall or hydroponic system for growing vegetables, not for decoration. See article Green walls VS. Hydroponic system.

What are the benefits of hydroponic growing?

• Fast growth and high yield
• Water saving
• Saving on fertilizers
• Less harmful
• A large number of plants in a small area
• Very suitable for growing vegetables 
• Ability to grow in unique places

Hydroponic growing methods

• DWC – Floating rafts
• NFTs – Pipes (water flows over the roots)
• Aerophones – Spraying or dripping water on the roots
• Vinea Hydroponics System It is a combination of DWC and NFT

What are the plant's needs?

• water
• air
• light
• Fertilizer (nutrients)
• Controlled water acidity
• Supporting structure

Recommended temperature for hydroponics growing

• Recommended temperature 21-27 degrees Celsius
• Temperature at which it can be grown: 16-32 degrees Celsius

The temperature can be lowered by adding cold water (ice).

The temperature can be increased by heating the water or adding a heater (like for fish).

Lighting – Types of Lighting

• Cold light is suitable for the plant's growth stage.
• Warm light is suitable for combining flowers and fruits

The light we give the plant should simulate the light conditions the plant would receive in nature.
