zeolite in hydroponics

Natural zeolite – clinoptilolite – has a unique, honeycomb-shaped molecular structure and is negatively charged. This means that it can attract and retain significant amounts of nutrient molecules, such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. These unique properties make it the ideal hydroponic growing medium. It is a 100% natural product, balances the pH and is able to bind nutrients and water within its structure whilst remaining anhydrous. Natural zeolite requires up to 50 per cent less watering, as it traps and retains water within its structure until the roots require and absorb it, thereby also allowing for proper ... Read more

zeolite in hydroponics | Zeolife.gr Hydroponics is an ancient method of growing crops that takes place without soil or earth. Non-aquatic plants grow with their roots in a completely inorganic medium, where they are fed with a nutrient solution. Put simply, the plants grow in water to which the necessary nutrients have been added. The plants’ roots float in the water or on a substrate of ‘pebbles’ through which water constantly flows. In ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, during the Aztec era, and even in the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the method of hydroponics was used. In modern times, hydroponics is ... Read more
