Introduction Hydroponics is a type of farming method that involves the cultivation of plants in a soilless environment. The word "hydroponics" comes from the Greek words "hydro," meaning water, and "ponos," meaning labor. Hydroponics involves growing plants in a nutrient-rich solution rather than in soil, allowing for optimal growth and plant development. In hydroponic farming, plants are typically grown in a controlled environment, where the grower has complete control over factors such as temperature, humidity, and lighting. This allows for optimal growing conditions, resulting in higher yields and faster plant growth. How Do Plants Survive in Soilless Medium? Plants have adapted to grow in soil for millions of years. So, how do they survive in a soilless environment? Plants rely on a variety of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to grow and develop. These nutrients are typically found in soil, but they can also be found in a hydro
