Everyone keeps telling me you can't grow aloe in water. And yet I started with a little sprig and now have 20 separate 15 to 20 pound plants growing in my pvc tube aquaponic pond filter for my fish pond. The roots are kept completely submerged in running water and these plants are growing like monsters!
I had a very dehydrated star aloe from the hardware store. It didn't plump up in soil, no matter what I did. I put it in leca. It's plump and it has amazing new roots growing out of the bottom of the pot!
thank you. I've been thinking of switching my aloe plant to semi hydro. This helps alot with the watering technique. Hope you do kitchen herbs soon would really help me out ♥
But why? Does it make it grow any faster by any chance? My concern is medicinal purposes. I wouldn't like to grow these in chemicals only to use a branch for treatment later down the line.
Any formula or recipe for nutrients for watering aloe vera hydroponics? Like which type of hydroponic nutrient in which ratio should be used when watering aloe vera? Anything might help.
Thanks . What is fertilizer that we should use . It does not need any or we need to add ? I am considering to switch from soil to LECA . Fungus gnats are killing in my home
Add nutrients only when you see new leaves. Most nutrients can actually be harmful to young tender roots. Warm temperatures at the root zone is best for new root growth.
no mold which only grows in wet soil, less watering, more airation of the roots, less damage due to overwatering, exactly the right nutrition by mixing it directly into the water (like a proteinshake being faster than eating a steak.. less work to get to the goodies). Also: hipster bonus because hydroponics has been the new thing (for 30+ yrs) ^^
@@yamyams94 true, true. the hipster comment was just for fun and not to be taken too serious ;) You know what I mean, people "suddenly rediscover" barefoot walking, hiking, eating vegetarian, drinking tea over coffee.. and sell it as "omg that new thing" ^^ so yes, hydroponics is not new. we just forgot and buried that knowledge.. like so many other things
Looking good but why? Does it make it grow any faster by any chance? My concern particularly with this plant is I like to grow aloe vera and use for medicinal purposes. I wouldn't like to grow these in hydroponic chemicals only to use a branch for treatment later down the line. I don't think it would be healthy or treat as effectively. Anyway that's just my thoughts.
honestly, I was too cheap to special pots. I just use the original plastic pots that I bought them in, they always have holes in the bottom and they are enough to connect the pebbles to the water. btw when you buy plants the plants usually already fill most of these pots.. all roots little soil. so I remove all the pots, wash away the soil and plant the plant (soil-less) in fine pebbles BUT I use a bigger pot than the original one. That way the plant has lenty of space, and I get to reuse all the pots I collect over the time. The smallest pots I use for seeding new plants. cheers
the grow medium isn´t soil, but the rocks. the only thing missing here are the nutrients which you put directly into the water. with Aloe you presumably need a lot less nutrients bec it´s happy with so little.. nevertheless nutrients need to be added to the water.

Can you do a video on your aloe plants?
I have multiple small plants that i've started and wanted to see about moving them to hydroponics.
Hell yeah! Post the set up!

"Tickle the roots" that's cute
very nice

Very nice demo! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much. I’m going to use your video for my snake plant. Excellent.
they don't like the red spectrum of light but will thrive under t5ho lighting with bulbs in the 5000k to 6500k range.
I am working on the greenhouse, telling you to have to the working in the greenhouse 20 separate and 20-pound plants to the hydroponics plants
Can we grow all of the succulents this way?
Hi will this work if my aloe Vera has no roots? Has some tiny roots I had over water it to much didn’t notice until I change the soil 😪
Same here 😭
why you didn't washed and soaked the Leca first ?

Humm I watch all four and did not see anything on Orchids ?..
can you use LECA with spider plant? If so how much water and food.
Can you give me links for finding your baskets, water gauge, and pebbles?
Hi, can pls tell what’s your ppm & ph for your aloe vera plants solutions? Thanks
Why do you use pebbles instead of soil
New subscriber. Do you use nutrient water when you start letting water sit in the pot?
Where can I buy those hydro pots?
What about nutrients?When do we add those?
Add nutrients only when you see new leaves. Most nutrients can actually be harmful to young tender roots. Warm temperatures at the root zone is best for new root growth.
Can it be done in the kracky system
What is the advantage in this "Hydroponics System"?
no mold which only grows in wet soil, less watering, more airation of the roots, less damage due to overwatering, exactly the right nutrition by mixing it directly into the water (like a proteinshake being faster than eating a steak.. less work to
get to the goodies). Also: hipster bonus because hydroponics has been the new thing (for 30+ yrs) ^^
Ryan Castillo excellent answer only hydroponics centuries old, have a look at hanging gardens or similar other civilizations making farms on water.

What's that thing u put the plants in sir ? İt's not soil ? What is it ?
Leca
What kind of pebbles did you use?
Those are LECA balls!! Also known as clay balls!!!
عربي منا يفهمنا واش هذا الحجر نوعيته
If you made the mess why can't you clean it up with yuh two long han'?
Doesn't this still have the same problem. Where are the roots suppose to grow to?
After cuttings have rooted plant them in a hydro system www.easygrohydro-store.com/starter-sets-for-hydroponic-houseplants/
Where can we get these hydroponic pots in USA .
Anjali Joshi I found mine on Amazon along with the clay pebbles

Vannia Cuervo hi there. Do u have a link to Amazon about the pot w/ gauge? Thanks.
what are these brown stones? are these pebbles or what
it's hydroton. You can get them at walmart or ikea if you don't have a specialty hydroponic store near you. Or just order online somewhere like amazon
what are these pebbles called
Pebbles are called LECA - Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate. See more at www.easygrohydro.com/

Whats your soil????
the grow medium isn´t soil, but the rocks. the only thing missing here are the nutrients which you put directly into the water. with Aloe you presumably need a lot less nutrients bec it´s happy with so little.. nevertheless nutrients need to be added to the water.
this is NOT hydroponics, you are just using hydroponic pellets. still, glad my guess was confirmed, great video...thanks!
