Best Plants For Indoor Hydroponic Gardens

October 11, 2022 Denis Matthews

If you have minimal outdoor space you may think you have to put aside your passion for gardening, but what if we said you don’t have to?

With a hydroponic Salad Table you can live out all of your gardening dreams right from your living room or kitchen. This nutrient-rich water-based growing system uses less water, encourages faster growth and produces higher yields than traditional soil gardening.

Many plants can grow perfectly indoors in nutrient rich water, without the mess of soil or insects, including a selection of herbs, vegetables and house plants.

Herbs

Fresh herbs can add a delicious pop of flavour to any meal. Being able to pick them fresh right from your kitchen can be a game changer in meal preparation.

Many herbs thrive in hydroponic systems, growing faster and stronger so you can start to add your fresh flavours to your dishes within a few short weeks of planting.

For many herbs they will grow best from a cutting, however many can also grow well from seeds. The following herbs are easy to grow hydroponically from seeds or cuttings:

Basil
Lemon Balm
Mint
Oregano
Rosemary
Sage

Vegetables

Many vegetables can also be grown hydroponically in your house. All they need is a little extra light, so it’s important to invest in a LED system or set your Salad Table up by a window.

Vegetables grown with nutrient rich water delivered directly to their roots tend to be super fast growing and are also very easy to care for. Requiring little maintenance, only harvesting and the best part: eating!

These vegetables are suitable for hydroponics, smaller spaces, and indoor growing:

Bok Choy
Capsicum
Cucumbers
Kale
Lettuce
Spinach
Tomatoes

House Plants

Hydroponics are not just suited for edible plants, you can also grow a selection of beautiful flowers and houseplants that will brighten up and add a nice aroma to your room.

Flowers grown this way, like the above herbs and veggies, grow quickly with little maintenance or additional care. So you can enjoy beautiful plants without all the extra effort or mess.
