Have your plants ever suffered root rot or mold? Indoor plants can get less light and might suffer if we lack time to water them. ​

If you want a great idea for indoor greenery, "hydroponics" is a top tip. Indoor hydroponics is ideal for plants like the fiddle-leaf fig, zanzibar gem, philodendron, pencil cactus, or ferns. Just cut the stalk at 45° at the leaf base and dip it into rooting hormones.

Backyard vegetables like basil, mint, rosemary also thrive with this method. ​Succulents like cacti, which like the dry, are also great for hydroponic planting. Remove their roots and put them in containers where they won’t soak in water (which could cause rot). Then just wait until the new roots grow. ​

One benefit of hydroponics is preventing soil-based diseases and some kinds of insect. You can also easily move plants with less earth. But stay alert for mosquito larvae and regularly change the water and use fertilizer. ​
