Capillary Fed Hydroponic Systems

With a capillary fed setup the water and nutrients are drawn from an outer well using a capillary system.

The outer well is topped up as required, giving the plants a steady supply of water and nutrients.

This type of system can be as simple as a terracotta pot that has been filled with gravel and place in a bucket of nutrient solution.

Unlike many other hydroponic systems the capillary fed arrangement is quite well suited for many indoor houseplants.

Some of the most suitable plants for this type of arrangement include:

1. Diffenbachia
2. Ficus
3. Dracaena
4. Palms
5. African violets

While nothing can guarantee success in the world of gardening, choosing the right plants can be more than half the battle in the world of hydroponics. Determining which type of hydroponic system best suits your needs, and choosing the plant species most suitable for that system, can enhance your chances for success and the enjoyment of your garden.
