Choosing an indoor hydroponic growing system

Indoor hydroponic systems allow you to grow herbs, salad leaves, chillies, flowers and other compact plants without traditional soil or outdoor space. A complete countertop system combines a water reservoir, growing pods and LED lighting to create a controlled indoor environment for year-round growing.

Choose a hydroponic system based on the plants you want to grow and the space available. Smaller multi-pod systems are ideal for germinating seeds, herbs and leafy greens, while systems with larger pods provide more room for developing roots and established plants. You may also need compatible seeds, nutrients, growing plugs or vermiculite to support germination and healthy growth.
