If maintenance, mess and the very real possibility that you will end up killing your plants, puts you off owning them altogether, we have a simple solution.

Growing plants in water - a low maintenance plant trend – means no messy soil, no repotting every few months and no need to worry about watering your plants every second day. As an added bonus, hydroponic plants are also more allergy friendly and less likely to attract pests around the home.

Below are out tips for water plant care. 

Remember to water it

Like all plants, don't forget to feed your new hydroponic plant babies with water. It is recommended to use bottled spring water which will give your plant the best chance to grow as it contains more nutrients than tap water. For the first couple of months, make sure to change the water weekly and once roots have formed you can start replacing monthly.

Fertilise your plants

Every living organism needs food to survive and plants are no different, so be sure to invest in a liquid fertiliser that will make sure your plants get the vital nutrients they need to thrive. 

Placement is key

The placement of a new hydroponic plant is very important so make sure to place them in bright, but indirect light for the best results. Hydroponic plants thrive in places which are warm and the temperature doesn't change too often, so if you find your new plant baby coming in direct contact with sunlight, find it a new spot.
