vegetable planting can now be done without using soil media because the invention of planting method known as HIDROPONIK means the activity of farming is done without the soil but water that contains good nutrients for plant growth. You can use a porous like sterofoam, sand.

Hydroponic cultivation activities should be done with proper calculations, as you will take into account how much nutrients are needed by planting. If the plant is deprived of nutrients it can result in crop failure.

In addition there are some things you need to consider is the number of plants to be planted, because it is clear that planting in large quantities will be different with small amounts of planting when small amounts of planting can use the materials remaining around the house is different with large amounts of planting you have to buy all the ingredients - material if you do not want to harvest failure.

Well for more on how to plant hydroponics it helps you to pay attention to the advantages of hydroponics and hydroponic plant types as follows:

Type of Hydroponics Plant

In general, plants that can produce good results with hydroponic cultivation method is a vegetable leaf. Here are some examples:

1. Green mustard

Plant mustard is one of the needs of the market is always increasing, therefore many farmers who think intelligently how to plant the mustard in large quantities but does not require a large area. There is a way of planting with hodroponic method, the type of mustard that is suitable to be grown by hydroponic method is a green mustard greens.

2. Green slash

One plant can be planted in temperate and tropical regions, because the problem of the number of productions that are less many farmers to switch to planting green slag using hodrponik method.

3. Beans

This one plant contains many extraordinary nutrients such as vegetable protein, vit A, vit B, and vit C. One plant is not difficult to be cultivated therefore planting can be done by hydroponic method.

4. Pare

The next plant is pare, this plant grows propagules and green fruit contains vitamins are very many of them vitam A, vit C, phosphorus, and iron. Therefore, many farmers do cultivation using hydroponic methods.

5. Spinach

Spinach is one of the green vegetables that we often encounter in various places in Indonesia, especially in every food stall. Spinach has a very remarkable nutritional content, not only vitamins but also spinach contains magnesium, calcium, folate, protein, and fiber.

• Cucumber
• Kale
• Broccoli
• Tomato
• Chili 
• eggplant
• Strawberry

Hydroponic Excellence

What are some advantages to planting using a hydroponics system? Here are some advantages of planting using hydroponics method, namely:

• The advantages of using hydroponic methods are cost savings, because you do not have to do watering you just need to control
• Furthermore, you do not need a large area because hydroponics use only small land even though the number of plants is large
• In the process of maintenance is more environmentally friendly because no need to use pest or pesticide drugs
• The next advantage of hydroponics does not damage the soil because the planting medium does not use the soil
• Healthy plant yields
• Can check the plants in good health or not by looking at the roots.

How to Plant Hydroponics with Water Media

This time @research will share tips and guidance on how to plant hydroponics that you can try yourself at home:

1. Using a static solution technique

The first hydroponic way to use a static solution means you do not need to drain nutrient-filled water. The media used in this technique are bucket, used bottle, basin, cement tank and tank. Our suggestion for choosing non-sunlight media aims to preserve plants from moss attack.

Besides that you need to consider is to control the height of the water, because this technique does not drain the water always fill the media planting with low water approximately water nutrients exposed to the root of the goal so that plants always get enough oxygen.

2. Using the water solution technique

The next technique is to drain the water, the way it works you only need to prepare a large tank that is placed on a higher area of ​​the planting medium so that water containing nutrients can flow well all planting media.

The NFT hydroponics technique uses an artificial trench made of thin, stainless metal strips, and plants seeded in the trench. Around the ditch channel is drained nutritious mineral water so that around the plant will form a thin layer used as plant food. The trenches are made with very thin water streams so that they simply pass through the roots and cause a layer of nutrients around the roots and there is enough oxygen for the plants.

How to Plant Hydroponics at Home

If you want to plant a home hydroponics method, we will give you the simplest hydroponic way of planting as follows:

1. How to plant hydroponics with WICK system

this technique uses the axis that serves to drain the water containing the nutrients from the reservoir to the roots of plants, Rockwool is a medium that will absorb the nutrients water carried flannel cloth, so the roots of young plants will absorb it from rockwool.

Materials needed :

1. The first thing you need to prepare is a 600 ml used bottle
2. then Cropping Media: Rockwool recommended (can buy at farm shop or online) Alternatively, it can be replaced with dacron, used foam, cotton rolls, or rolled flannel.
3. Last Axis: Can use a stove axis / flannel / fabric that absorbs water

2. How to Plant Hydroponics with Used Bottles

1. Prepare the bottle and cut and make a hole size of 1 cm, the bottle has been cut the top and bottom
2. After that prepare a nail that has been heated to make a hole in the area of the bottle yamg cut earlier
3. Part of you who want to use axis, you do not need to make a bottle cap that needs to be done to make a hole in the middle of the bottle cap using a nail that has been heated
4. Then for those of you who want to use the floating system, can make a bottle cap so that the roots can develop water-filled contained nutrients
5. insert the nutrient solution into the bottom scrap bottle
6. Insert the topsome bottle upside down (bottle cap below) into the bottom bottle of the former bottle filled with nutrient solution.
7. Put the planting medium into the top of the bottle.

Preliminary Steps of Simple Hydroponics Planting Guide.

Here's a step by step guide for simple hydroponics to plant:

1. Preparation of Hydroponics Plant Seed

The first step you should do is the seed preparation stage. For the preparation of the seed itself is the same as the usual way of planting. You can get the seeds by making them yourself or buy ready-made seeds at the farm shop.

For beginners themselves it is more advisable to buy ready-made seeds at the farm shop or buy them online at online agricultural shops that are already abundant.

Once you have the seeds of the plants to be cultivated, the next step is stocking or seedling seeds. The commonly used seeding place is rockwool. Rockwool is very practical because it has a high water absorption and sterile. This is also at the same time you can buy when buying seeds.

2. Preparation of Hydroponics planting media

After the seeds are finished we treat as above, then the next step is the preparation of hydroponic planting media. You can use a mixture of fuel husk and gravel sand, or a mixture of rockwool and gravel sand, or make use of coconut husk.

Place the growing media on the desired container such as pot or used tin. If the seeds have enough age to move to the planting medium.

Good media criteria:

• Does not affect nutrient solution
• Does not clog the irrigation system
• Has good pore

Each planting medium has its own advantages. Rockwoll media is among the most common and commonly used in hydroponic cultivation.

3. Giving Nutrition

As we already know, this hydroponic medium does not use soil, plants need nutrients from the outside, especially those we give. The dose / size of the nutrients given should be calculated with the precision between the number of macro and micro elements in order for plant growth to take place properly.

Use the right hydroponic nutrients with the type of plant grown.

You can mix yourself or buy hydroponic nutrition on the market. Nutrition can be done by way of manual flush morning and evening, or if you want more practical you can try how to plant hydroponics with wick system or wick please check on the picture. Axis (can be from cotton, stove axis or used cloth) will drain nutrients to all parts of the plant. This wick technique is one of the simplest hydroponics techniques.

4. Treatment of hydroponic plants

The next stage is the stage of treatment. Treatment of plants with hydroponics techniques is not much different from the plants on the usual method of planting, such as pruning, weed cleaning and others.

Well, so is the guide how to plant hydroponics that we can share for you. Hopefully can be a quick guide you to make your own hydroponics at home, especially for those of you who have relatively narrow land. See You @reserse
