Hydroponic System Design

Hydroponic plants are cultivation techniques by utilizing water as a planting medium rich in various nutrients. So with this technique, it can make it easier to control pests, diseases and lighting effects that are often experienced by plants. Planting with a hydroponic system is an environmentally friendly method. Because cultivation does not need to use pesticides or even poisonous herbicides.

Various media in hydroponic systems:

1. husk charcoal

Husk charcoal is abundant because the raw material of rice pulp that is easily obtained from husk charcoal can provide the best results for producing vegetables and various tree nurseries.

2. Sponge

maybe all of you already know about spoons that are often used for washing dishes and cleaning room windows etc., but have you ever noticed if the spoon is left in the open because it rains and hot eating will grow moss green and sometimes black and sometimes grass grows but not many use this method.

3. Expanded clay

is a type of clay that already contains essential minerals for the growth of young plants is very suitable for seeding.

4. Rock wool

Rockwool is a non-organic material made by blowing air or steam onto melting stones. The result is a type of fiber that has a cavity with a diameter generally between 6-10 micromoter.

5. Coir

coir or coconut fibers which are better used to sow plant seeds.

6. Perlite

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has a relatively high water content, usually formed by obsidian hydration, which is suitable for hatching animal eggs and accelerates plant growth from seedlings.

7. Pumice stone

originating from basalt rocks found on the coast due to the eruption of Mount Merapi for hundreds of years.

8. Vermiculite

A group of minerals has a mica structure. They are hydro silicates, which generally come from a kind of mica change. So named because the scales, when heated, open to a curved shape.

9. Sand

sand can also be used to sow plants and coastal mountains, for example on the beach such as coconuts and bean seeds.

10. Gravel

can be used for planting in our homes if you want to add to the impression of the beauty of the interior of the house, which can be planted only with gravel media that is waterproof or needs high water.

11. Wood powder

commonly used for plants that need high humidity such as mushrooms.
