With hydroponics, important growing factors such as light, temperature, and humidity can be controlled. As there’s no dirt, there is less upkeep needed with hydroponics. Pests and soil borne diseases are reduced as well as the need for weeding.  Hydroponics are always a culture without soil, yet not all cultures without soil are thought of as hydroponics.  Many of these cultures do not use the nutrient solutions, which are required for hydroponics.  There are two main types of hydroponics, which are solution culture and medium culture. 

Though solution culture uses a nutrient solution, there is no solid growing medium for the roots.  The medium culture has a solid growing medium for the roots such as gravel, sand or a perlite culture.  Hydroponic plants are grown in a number of ways, each supplying nutrient solution to the plants one way or another.
