What is Hydroponics?

  Growing Orchids:
    In nature, orchids which grow on rocks and trees, not on the ground, are called "epiphytes". They get moisture and nutrients from rain and dew. Orchids which grow on or in the ground are called "terrestrials". Growers use a wide range of materials to simulate these conditions. Working with varying blends of potting materials can often be tricky.  Some ingredients hold water, others don't.  Some deteriorate, some don't.   Watering can be a real a guessing game.  And what about nutrients? To be successful you may have to fiddle with each new plant to get results.

  Growing Orchids with Hydroponics:
    Our Hydroponic System replaces all those potting mixes with a simple clay aggregate that is easy to use and ideal for orchid Culture.

  •  Doesn't break down (less re-potting)

  •  Delivers water and nutrients to the plant safely and evenly
  • Allows maximum air flow at the roots


  No more trips to the sink for overnight soaking!  No more guessing with nutrients either!
