Hydro Pops® is the nicest thing you can possibly do for your container plants. Widely recognised as the preferred method for growing ornamental, fruits and vegetable plants in Europe, Hydro Pops® makes owning beautiful plants easy, simple and extremely rewarding. You don’t need a green thumb to have absolutely stunning plants in your home or office.
Virtually any plant can be taken from its dirt-filled pot and replaced with Hydro Pops®. The only difference for the plant is that it will then receive nutrients through the water instead of through the soil.
First, remove absolutely all soil and other dead organic matter from the roots. Then choose a a suitable planter which includes any type of watertight container except untreated metal. Glass is attractive and also lets you keep an eye on the water level. Or try a double pot that’s been designed for hydroculture; the outer pot is a reservoir for water and the inner pot holds the plant and Hydro Pops®. Fill the pot one third with Hydro Pops®. Place the plant in the desired position and fill the pot completely with Hydro Pops®. Follow up by thoroughly watering.
Hydro Pops® works as a soil amendment in your garden too. And chances are, your soil could use a little help. So, simply spread a 1-inch layer of Hydro Pops® over your garden area. Using a shovel or garden tiller, work it into the top 4-6 inches of your native soil. Plant normally and follow up by thoroughly watering.
