How would you turn a liquid as the solution of nutrients used in hydroponics into gel; or something like this ? :

Thanks.

use PolyAcrylamide.

 

and by the way, that gel2root stuff isn`t worth it! I`ve used it in the past and it was garbage!

you`re better of with some Murphys Hormone Rooting powder and a good compost.

Carolina biological has numerous gels that are used for tissue culture, if that's what you're after.

 

If we're talking about mature plants, sand or perlite, depending on the density required. Cheap, very permeable to water, no nutrients of their own, etc. Long-fiber sphagnum works well for plants that need loose media but don't mind acidity.

Thanks.

 

The cleanliness and transparency is what attracts me, for using such clear gel in glass containers for indoor plants instead of dirt.

If such gel can support life in plain mature plants in my living room.

 

But it's better a healthy nice plant on dirt than a dead one in a pretty pot.
