Grow Green: Exploring the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) in Hydroponics


At EVERGREEN, we’re passionate about sustainable growing practices that not only enhance food production but also contribute to ecological conservation, climate change mitigation, and education. One of the most efficient and widely adopted hydroponic methods we offer is the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) — a true game-changer in indoor growing and horticulture.

What is NFT Hydroponics?

The Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) employs a continuous flow of nutrient-rich water that moves through shallow channels, passing over the bare roots of plants. These plants are held in net pots, suspended above the stream of solution, while the upper section of the roots is exposed to oxygen, allowing optimal rhizosphere health.

This low-maintenance, high-efficiency method is ideal for short-term crops with small root systems, such as:

  • Lettuce, spinach, rainbow chard

  • Sorrel, mâche, frisée, and other salad greens

  • Pak choi, tatsoi, radish, mizuna, and other brassicas

  • Beetroot, watercress, and celery

  • Strawberries and edible flowers like nasturtiums, pansies, and dianthus

  • Aromatic culinary herbs: basil, parsley, cilantro

NFT hydroponics provides a clean, soil-free environment that significantly reduces water usage while maximizing growth and yield.

Canna Rhizomes: A Versatile and Valuable Plant

Image
Canna Rhizomes are the underground storage organs of the Canna plant, a member of the Cannaceae family. Originating from the American tropical and subtropical regions , these plants are admired for their large tropical leaves and vibrant flowers. The Canna genus is a favorite among horticulturists due to its adaptability and ornamental value. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Canna rhizomes play a significant role in agriculture , environmental sustainability , and animal husbandry .  The Unique Characteristics of Canna Rhizomes The rhizome is a modified stem located underground, which serves as a storage system for the Canna plant . This structure contains the largest starch grains of any known plant, making it a valuable agricultural resource. The high starch content of Canna rhizomes makes them useful in various industrial applications , including biodegradable plastics and bioethanol production. In some regions, the rhizomes are cultivated specifically for their starch...

Understanding the Three Types of Bees: Worker, Queen, and Drone

Image
Honey bees are fascinating eusocial insects that thrive in well-organized colonies with a clear division of labor . Each colony consists of three primary bee castes : queen bee , worker bee , and drone bee . This article explores the unique roles and functions of each type of bee within a beehive, providing valuable insights for both commercial and hobby beekeepers . The Queen Bee: The Heart of the Colony The queen bee is the only fertile female within the hive, responsible for laying thousands of eggs throughout her lifetime. Her primary role is to ensure the continuation of the colony by laying both fertilized and unfertilized eggs . Key facts about the queen bee: Mating Process : A virgin queen bee leaves the hive for mating flights with drone bees from other colonies. During these flights, which can occur up to 8.3 km away , she stores up to 6 million sperm in her spermatheca . Egg Laying : She selectively fertilizes eggs to produce either worker bees (from fertilized egg...
