Hydroponic system from urbanhive – efficient and sustainable for long-lasting growth

Hydroponics is one of the most efficient ways to grow plants indoors. urbanhive relies on a combination of three proven hydroponic systems. These methods are not only space-saving and clean, they also ensure faster growth cycles and healthier plants. Here you'll find out what makes our hydroponic system so special.

1. Combination of the best hydroponic methods

There are six classic hydroponic systems, from which we identified individual components after testing and combined them with one another: aeroponics, deep water culture and the wick system. These ensure better growth with minimal maintenance.

  • Aeroponics: The roots hang in a closed container and are misted with nutrients.
  • Deep water culture: The roots are constantly submerged in nutrient solution, which ensures a constant supply.
  • Wick system: The water is transported through a wick so the plant always receives the right amount of moisture.

2. Permanent nutrient supply

Our hydroponic systems make it possible to supply the plants with nutrients directly through their roots. This has many advantages:

  • Faster growth: Because the plants absorb the nutrients directly and constantly, they grow faster than in conventional soil.
  • Efficient use of resources: In a hydroponic system, water and nutrients are used optimally. Excess water is recirculated and can be reused.

3. Reduced maintenance

Thanks to the intelligent combination of our three hydroponic methods, the plants don't need constant monitoring. The system automatically supplies them with water and nutrients.

  • Even watering: The capillary wick system ensures that the plants always receive the optimal amount of moisture.
  • Minimal water consumption: Compared to conventional planting methods, our system uses up to 90% less water.
The plant inserts are modular and removable. Capillary action lets the plants water themselves.

4. Maximum oxygen supply for the roots

Oxygen supply to the roots is crucial for plant growth. Our system promotes oxygenation through innovative techniques.

  • Aerated roots: The system ensures that the roots receive a regular supply of oxygen, which stimulates root growth.
  • Optimized air circulation: The well-thought-out design guarantees sufficient air circulation to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

5. Adjustable water and nutrient control

With the urbanhive app, you're always in control of your hydroponic system.

  • Real-time notifications: The app lets you know, for example, when it's time to refill the water.
  • Tips and tricks: You get specific harvesting tips and always keep an eye on your plants' growth
