Deep Water Culture (DWC) Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, where the plant roots are suspended in a nutrient-rich, oxygenated water solution.
Here’s how it works:
-
🌱 Plants sit in net pots, usually held in place by a floating lid or raft.
-
💧 The roots hang down into a deep reservoir of water that contains dissolved nutrients.
-
💨 An air pump and air stone provide oxygen to the roots, which is crucial since they’re submerged and don’t get oxygen from the air like in soil-based systems.
