What nutrients do hydroponic plants require?

Answered By Harry Gurney, Editor


Nutrients are needed by the hydroponic plants in order to grow and promote a good production. Basic nutrients consist of the following:

*Water- There should be an adequate amount of water for optimum growth of the plant.
*Oxygen- It is necessary to bubble air around the roots of the plants to obtain sufficient oxygen.
*Carbon Dioxide- It is required along with hydrogen for producing carbohydrates.
*Minerals- It includes potassium, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium and sulphate.

All of the said nutrients must be present for a hydroponic plant to ensure growth.
