Hydroponic Setups
DIY hydroponic plants?
Is it possible to make a DIY hydroponic plant setup on your desk? Just a small setup for display. And could it be possible to do that without the pumps?
Don't see why not. You need a nice looking waterproof container and the appropriate filling material - stones, gravel, whatever, and the correct nutrients from a garden center. If it is a small container I would suggest you leave a sump in one corner from which you can bale the water out by hand or by a small vacuum pump like those used in winemaking. Then add fresh water and nutrients from a jug or bottle. A plastic bottle filled with water and turned upside down with the mouth under water will give you a regular top up. Proper hydroponics need misting sprays, light and temperature control etc etc, but if you choose sturdy plants like Busy Lizzies they should survive without all the gadgets. I ran a hydroponic Busy Lizzie in half a glass brick for years in the office.

Hydroponics - Growing Without Soil
The growing of plants without soil is called Hydroponics. It is widely used to grow lush, healthy indoor plants and good quality vegetables, fruits and herbs. Plants absorb nutrients as simple ions in water. The nutrients in the soil dissolve in water and the plant roots absorb them. When the plants get adequate nutrients, the soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. With the use of proper nutrients and the right artificial light source, an indoor gardener can achieve amazing results. A complete controlled environmental agriculture system should have controlled light, temperature, water, CO2, oxygen, pH and nutrients.
Hydroponics is simple and efficient. On alternate days a pH check is done and the water level is topped up. The nutrient is changed every 7 - 12 days. To turn the light and garden on and off automatically, a timer is often used. Amongst the different forms of Hydroponics, deep water is the purest form since the roots are directly exposed to the nutrient solution. "Deep Water" systems use a small air pump to keep the solution well oxygenated.
Another method of Hydroponics is the Ebb
