Growing Hydroponic herbs is easy. Creating an indoor herb garden is quite an easy task and Herbs are inexpensive plants that are easy to maintain.
Depending on their use, herbs can be classified into culinary herbs, medicinal herbs and aromatic herbs. Culinary herbs include basil, rosemary, parsley, thyme, summer savory and oregano. These herbs are used to add spice and flavor in food. Medicinal herbs include plants like valerian, hypericum, gingko and garlic that are widely used in medicinal preparations.
You can start with herbs like oregano, rosemary, garlic chives, mint and thyme. You can either buy these plants at a garden center or can use stem cuttings. Herbs will grow very well in any type of hydroponics system but many professional growers prefer to use a NFT system. A simple Ebb & Flow system will work very well for a small family. A vertical window garden also works very well. A wide variety of herbs will grow well even in he same nutrient solution.
You can have a beautiful indoor herb garden if you follow certain tips. Using a soilless mixture of peat and perlite ensures proper growth of seeds and seedlings. Keeping pots in the southern or western window ensures proper sunlight and air. The substrate in the containers and pots should be moist but not damp. Pots should be kept in shady regions during summers. Humidity around indoor plants can be increased if they are grouped together. Growing hydroponic herbs is easy!
