The Benefits of Hydroponic Gardening

Hydroponic gardening offers a wealth of benefits that make it an attractive option for both novice and experienced gardeners in Kuwait. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider embracing this innovative growing method:

Increased Yields

Hydroponic plants are able to absorb nutrients more efficiently, leading to faster growth and higher yields compared to traditional soil-based gardening. This means you can produce more food in a smaller space, making it an ideal solution for urban and small-scale gardeners.

Year-Round Harvests

With a controlled hydroponic setup, you can grow your favorite fruits, vegetables, and herbs all year round, regardless of the season or climate. This allows you to enjoy a steady supply of fresh, nutritious produce even during the hot summer months or the cooler winter seasons.

Water Conservation

Hydroponic systems use up to 90% less water than traditional soil-based gardening, making them an eco-friendly and water-efficient choice for gardeners in Kuwait's arid climate. The recirculating nature of the water system ensures minimal water waste.

Reduced Pest and Disease Risks

Hydroponic gardening eliminates many of the soil-borne pests and diseases that can plague traditional gardens. This means you can grow your plants with fewer pesticides and herbicides, resulting in healthier, more sustainable produce.

Compact and Customizable

Hydroponic systems can be designed to fit a wide range of spaces, from small balconies to large-scale indoor farms. This makes them an excellent option for urban gardeners or those with limited outdoor space in Kuwait.

Air plants are very hardy and easy to care for. We have seen them survive up to 2 weeks in a shipping box with no light or water (Do not try that at home). When your new air plants arrive you will want get them acclimated 

To lower the stress you will want to soak your air plants in room temperature water for 20 to 60 minutes. Just fill a bowl with good water and submerge the plants completely. Municipal water often has some chemicals such as chlorine and/or fluoride. If you have well water, pond water, creek water or rain water, air conditioning water your air plants will love that. You can also use bottled spring water o. Do not use distilled water as it has fewer natural minerals and nutrients that air plants like. As air plants do not live in soil they get all of their moisture, light and nutrients through their leaves.

You may notice that your air plants have a white, fuzzy, layer on their leaves, especially after a good watering. These are called Trichomes. Trichomes are small outgrowths on the leaves which absorb water and nutrients for the plants. They are not mold or a fungus.

After their soak, remove your air plants from the water, gently shake off the excess water and lay the plants out on their side or upside down so they can dry completely before placing them in a display. A nice sunny window sill is a perfect place to let them dry and soak up some sunlight. Do not place your air plants in direct sunlight. They like bright indirect sunlight. If you are planning on putting them in a glass terrarium, a wall hanging display, or any kind of enclosure (or in a hole to stand them up), it is important that you allow your air plants to dry completely. Letting the air plants dry completely reduces the risk of your plants rotting.

Your air plants should dry within one to two hours. Once they are dry you will want to display them in an area with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Do not place them in direct sunlight as this will dry them out very quickly. Typically, your air plants will only need a 30 minute soak in water once or twice per week. If they are in a very dry or warm environment you may need to spritz them with water once a week in addition to the soak. You will know if they are getting too dry if their leaves begin to curl. Give them a good soak if you see this happening. Remember that despite their name, air plants need a little more than just air to live happily.

If you display your air plants in a manner that does not allow soaking them in a bowl of water you can spray them with water two or three times per week instead.
