Get Set For Winter With Complete Hydroponic Systems For Growing Plants Indoors

If you are excited to try growing flowers, fruits and vegetables indoors this winter

, but you do not know exactly how to start, you may want to look into complete hydroponic systems for use indoors. Hydroponic systems use no messy soil for growing plants, but instead the plants are grown in a soilless growing medium. The hydro- part of hydroponic systems comes from the fact that the plant roots get exposed to water through the use of plant nutrient, which is plant food that is dissolved in water to form a solution. The plant roots might get dipped into or sprayed with plant nutrient solution, depending upon the specific type of hydroponic systems you use, or the corollary growing method known as the aeroponic system.

An ebb and flow hydroponic system is a popular method of indoor gardening because it is easy to use. The parts that you will use with an ebb and flow hydroponic system include the basics of a reservoir, a tray and a pump. The reservoir is a deep pan in which plant nutrient solution is placed. The tray goes above the reservoir, and is used to hold the crowns of the plants out of direct contact with the nutrient solution, but also has holes in the tray so that the roots will dangle down and be exposed to the solution. How the solution gets to the roots is through the use of the pump, which helps to raise the nutrient solution level up to the tray above at regular intervals, and then the nutrient solution flows out of the holes in the bottom of the tray back into the reservoir to be reused. You can grow lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes or many other different types of plants using an ebb and flow system.

A hydroponic drip system is another method of growing plants used by indoor gardeners. Instead of the nutrient solution flooding a tray, the solution is dripped onto the plant roots in the hydroponic drip system. The hydroponic drip system may be utilized so that individual pots can be self-watering, or you can set up a drip system so that several small plants or one large plant can be accommodated by the setup.

An aeroponic system has plants that hang in the air, suspended by nets beneath their crowns. A misting system sprays the roots periodically with plant nutrient solution in the aeroponic system. Plants grow very rapidly because of the superior exposure of the roots to oxygen in this method.

You can find these and other complete hydroponic systems from online discount indoor gardening suppliers.
