Over the last few years, several American start-ups have modernized the hydroponics growing process using low-maintenance products that control both light and feeding, and include Wi-Fi-based apps that remind you when care is needed. Hydroponic plants generally produce fruit for up to nine months and don’t require any special skills to tend. Hydroponics eliminates guessing about the weather, requires less space, and returns a greater yield. In fact, the industry is now valued at over $30 billion worldwide, with a significant growth rate of over five percent a year. Lower blood pressure, less muscle tension, and less fear mean hydroponics is booming. Many people have found they enjoy having plants in their homes and gardens, perhaps due to the fact that watching plants has a measurable calming effect.
Today, with empty grocery store shelves returning due to supply chain issues, the grow-it-yourself-at-home trend continues. Tomatoes, leafy greens, baby greens, cucumbers, and peppers all thrive this way. Hydroponics is a centuries-old process of growing plants indoors using water, not soil. Many soon found out that not all plants are suited for the North American climate year-round, and turned to hydroponics indoors. In fact, 25 percent of Americans started growing food at home. When the pandemic started in spring 2020, many people started gardens in the backyard to not only pass the time – but to have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat without having to go to a store.
