HYDROPONICS, A PROFITABLE PLANT CULTIVATION WAY. Planting is one of the many activities carried out both in the yard of the house or as a business on a large scale. However, the limited land that is owned is sometimes one of the obstacles that some people face when they want to start an agricultural business. Hydroponic cultivation can be an alternative choice for starting agricultural activities that are constrained by limited land. Hydroponics is a method of planting that does not use soil as a planting medium, but uses water and planting media in the form of solid objects such as cocopeat, sponges and so on. Hydroponic planting is usually done for several types of leaf and fruit vegetables such as spinach, kale, lettuce, pakcoy, mustard greens, tomatoes, chilies. Apart from vegetables, fruit plants such as melons and strawberries can also be grown hydroponically. But currently, hydroponics is more widely used for growing vegetables, especially leaf vegetables.
