Hydrofun™ starter kits contain everything needed to grow your own hydroculture plant. With hydrofun, taking care of plants is a snap: a water gauge tells you exactly when and how much to water, feeding is simply done by exchanging a fertilizer bag once every 6 month.

Raising your own plant
You may transfer an adult plant that has been growing in soil to water by thoroughly cleaning the root system and repotting it in a hydroculture planter. However, a much simpler way is to clone your favorite plant and raise it from the very start in water instead of soil.

Taking care of your plant
Taking care of your hydroculture plant is simple when you follow these four easy rules: (i) water sparingly. Allow the water level go all the way down before watering again. (ii) feed regularly, about once every 6 month. (iii) provide sufficient lighting, and (iv) avoid drafts.

Sick-building syndrome
Gases released from building materials such as formaldehyde, benzol, phenol and nicotine contribute to the phenomenon known as "sick-building syndrome." A recent study shows that hydroculture plants do a remarkable job of removing these indoor air pollutants.
