Hydroponic gardening with AeroGarden systems is a convenient and efficient way to grow fresh herbs, vegetables, and flowers indoors. To ensure your plants thrive, it's essential to provide them with the right amount of nutrients. Our fertilizers, HydraGrow A&B, HydraGreens, and HydraCalmag, are specifically designed for hydroponic gardens to maximize plant health and growth.
