pixie Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am a Textiles design student and i am trying to make plants have more involvement on everday life. I want to create a way of growing plants and vegetables in a clear solution so you can see the growth process i have no idea if that is possible?! i have looked into Perlite and even tryed adding plant food to water storing crystals to see what would happen but i think it would just harbor root rot in the plants. If i can't work something out i will have to turn to real hydroponics!! Also what are the benefits of growing with agar?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Well, I have grown plants on nutrient medium with agar. The agar plates are whitish translucent and you can see the plant pretty well in it. The plants probably do not really benefit from the agar itself, but it allows you to solidify the nutrient solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
