These are some of the plants growing in the CuGreen plant lab. All are either sub-irrigated or growing in expanded clay pebble hydroculture. There is no drainage. They are watered on a fixed schedule. All soil based plants are growing in the same artificial soil media. There is no need for "special soil" based on the species of plant. Any terrestrial plant (with roots), including cactus, can be grown and maintained using these methods.
I am writing a how-to guide for what you see here. It will be a free download. Stay tuned.
We'll eagerly await the How-To Guide, esp guidance on clay-pebble hydroculture.

Another one looking forward to the how-to guide here!

Great site. I found it while looking for information on hydroculture after reading Dr Wolverton's book. (Yes, I did catch the part saying HOW you grow is as important as WHAT you grow!)
My questions are very basic, as I'm a total novice with house plants:
Can I buy a plant from a local garden center and just re-plant it in clay pebbles? Does it matter if it's a large, mature plant?
Thanks! Pete

I'd pay for the information. You're killing me here waiting for this how-to guide! There's demand for it so why aren't you supplying? Please, release what you have so far at least! Especially about the hydroculture.
