Which plants are suitable for hydropony?
So, hydropony is something in between a plant in a pot and a bouquet in a vase. If you use a glass vase for this, the roots of the plant are beautifully visible. And this way the plant always has enough water, so watering is no longer necessary. So it’s pretty and handy!
