Hydroponic farming, the ability to grow plants with just water (without any soil), has quickly caught the attention of home and terrace gardeners. And if the low maintenance of hydroponic farming interests you, here we mention 8 plants that can be grown hydroponically.

For beginners, tomatoes are one of the most easy to grow hydroponic plants. They grow well in full sunlight, and when additional nutrients are added to the water of the hydroponic tower structure, these can be harvested pretty quickly.

Another easy-to-grown hydroponic is Lettuce, which also grows pretty quickly in water. It needs minimal care and can be harvested within a few weeks, and will not need deep containers as it has shallow roots.

Chili peppers can also be grown hydroponically, and as chilies are lightweight, there is no need to add extra support or trellises during the growth stage. Make sure to give them 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for best growth.

One of the best leafy greens to grow hydroponically is Spinach. When germinated before adding to the hydroponic system, the leaves can be ready to harvest in just about 30 days.

Another great herb to grow in water, without any soil, is Mint. Growing it in water helps contain its spreads and ensures good maintenance of the plant.

If you have the leftover stalks from the green onion, you can easily grow the greens again in water. They can regrow from cuttings, need minimal care, and the cycle for growing green onions is constant.

It is best to grow Coriander hydroponically during the cold days, but even in summers, it can be grown in moderate sunlight areas. Simply split some coriander seeds and add them to a mesh over a water bucket. In about 40 days, it will be ready to harvest.

Beans can also be grown hydroponically, and as they have a similar weight to chilis, a trellis or support will not be needed.
