Besides repotting, we must water, fertilize, and understand the characteristics of each plant. Despite our best efforts, we often face failure. This shouldn't be surprising, as plant care is no easy task! If you want a cozy green corner but without the mess and hassle, semi-hydroponics is an excellent choice. Most plant enthusiasts know about soil-based cultivation and water culture, but few know about semi-hydroponics. Actually, semi-hydroponics means a combination of hydroponics and soil culture.
