hydroponics growing
What are the pros and cons of hydroponics and the pros and cons of growing plants in soil?

ADVANTAGES OF HYDROPONICS

Some of the reasons why hydroponics is being adapted around the world for food production are the following:

* No soil is needed
* The water stays in the system and can be reused- thus, lower water costs
* It is possible to control the nutrition levels in their entirety- thus, lower nutrition costs
* No nutrition pollution is released into the environment because of the controlled system
* Stable and high yields
* Pests and diseases are easier to get rid of than in soil because of the container’s mobility

DISADVANTAGES OF HYDROPONICS

The hydroponic conditions (presence of fertilizer and high humidity) create an environment that stimulates salmonella growth. Another disadvantage is pathogens attacks including damp-off due to Verticillium wilt caused by the high moisture levels associated with hydroponics and overwatering of soil based plants. Also, many hydroponic plants require different fertilizers and containment systems

plant hydroponics
Can you switch a plant from hydroponics to dirt?

If I get a plant thats been growing with hydroponics can I switch it to dirt?

Roots of plants grown hydroponically are often swelled with water because they have constant access to moisture. They’re also very tender and prone to breakage. When transplanted to garden soil or potting soil, they often wilt immediately and go into shock. The solution is to first transfer the plant to a shallow pot with potting soil, flood the medium with water, preferably the same water used in the hydroponic setup with water-soluble fertilizer added. Put in a place with indirect light and keep the soil moist for a week watering twice a day. Slowly reduce the watering schedule over the course of the next week or two to the point where you can water every other day without wilting. Inspect the root system. Hopefully by now the roots have become fibrous and brown rather than white. Transfer to a regular pot, slowly increase the light levels and eventually it will behave like a normal plant. Some leaf and flower loss is normal.
