Ensuring Proper Watering for Your Hydroponic Plants
Hydroponic plants are a great addition to any indoor space, offering a low-maintenance way to enjoy the beauty of nature without the need for soil. However, just like traditional plants, hydroponic plants require regular watering to thrive and grow.
At gathera, we understand the importance of proper watering for your hydroponic plants. While hydroponic plants may not need to be watered as frequently as traditional plants, it is still essential to ensure they receive an adequate amount of water to support their growth.
Monitoring Water Levels
Some of our units at gathera come equipped with sensors that beep to alert you when the water levels need to be topped up. However, not all units have this feature. Therefore, we recommend checking the water levels in your hydroponic unit at least every two weeks to ensure your plants have an ample water supply.
Understanding Water Needs
Initially, hydroponic plants use very little water, especially when they are still seedlings. However, as your plants grow and mature, their water consumption will increase. It is essential to monitor the water levels more closely as your plants get larger and older to prevent them from drying out.
Watering Guidelines
To help you better understand the water needs of your hydroponic plants, we have provided a breakdown of some of our popular units at gathera:
| Unit Name | Basin Size/Water Needed (L) | Estimated Refill Time (Weeks) |
|---|---|---|
| Indoor Smart Garden | 1 | 2 |
| EcoKitchen | 7 | 2-4 |
| Terra Garden | 7 | 2-4 |
By following these guidelines and monitoring the water levels in your hydroponic unit regularly, you can ensure that your plants receive the proper hydration they need to thrive. Remember, a well-hydrated plant is a happy plant!
