Why Use Hydroponics for Orchids?
Because it Works!
When you think about the needs of orchid plants you have to look at where and how they grow. While wild environments vary, they are many times seen attached to tree limbs, tree trunks or rocks indicating few needs other than air, water and light. They sip their nutrients based on what may fall their way, or what they choose to grow upon.
Orchids grow worldwide in varying conditions. If you match your condition to their needs you'll be successful!
Many times when one thinks about hydroponics they think of a fully flooded vessel with the plant in it. Our system utilizing expanded clay pellets is different and its easy to control how much or how little water the orchid receives. The EasyGroHydro system Is a completely "passive" system with no need for pumps, motors, air stones or any electricity.

As you go about your busy life your orchids are getting exatcly what they need for optimum growth.
1. Pour water (or nutrient solution) over the pebbles. Water passes through the pebbles to the reservoir at the bottom. Water gauge tells you how much is in the reservoir.
2. The capillary properties of the LECA pebbles "wick" the moisture up to the plant's roots gently and evenly.
3. As moisture moves up to the roots, air circulates through the open spaces in the culture pot and between the pebbles, giving the roots with an even mix of air and water.
