Okra is a green vegetable with variety of health benefits. You can grow it in whatever manner you may wish to. You can grow it naturally in your garden or as a hydroponic plant. Hydroponic okras are okras that are grown without soil. This method has become quite popular nowadays due to the results it achieves. Most people think that these okras are grown with their roots suspended into water. This is just one way to grow hydroponic okra. There are many other ways.
Hydroponic okras are actually grown in an inert growing medium along with a well balanced and pH-adjusted nutrient solution. This ensures that the okras get the required nutrients without too much effort. This is easier than growing them in soil where the okras have to put an effort to extract nutrients from the soil. Instead of wasting the energy in extracting food, hydroponic okras can actually concentrate on growing and bearing fruits.
Hydroponic okras grow faster and better. This is why many people opt for growing plans in this manner. Here, the growing medium is inert. In other words, the medium does not have the ability to provide any nutrition to the okra. The nutrients have to added and supplemented by you by way of nutrient solution. So, you have to monitor the pH and strength of the solution so that the okras receive just the right amount of nutrition.
Hydroponic fertilizers are refined, and tend to have less impurities compared to traditional fertilizers. Okras grown in this way are better in quality as they get the supply of food and nutrients easily. They do not have to make an effort to extract their nutrients from the soil.
