One important thing that a hydroponicist should learn is the different media that will deal on growing technique of hydroponic plants.
The following are the different growing media used in hydroponics:

*Coco Coir- made from the husk of the coconut
*Perlite- very lightweight volcanic rock
*Vermiculite- often referred as light pebbles
