Who can forget the classic school experiment of growing cress on damp paper towels or cotton wool? For many of us, it was our first glimpse into the fascinating world of hydroculture – the art of growing plants without soil. While nostalgic, it’s safe to say you won’t find cress in any of our biophilic designs!
“Hydroculture plants are stronger, last longer, and purify the air more effectively,” explains Brandon, Head of Design at Leaflike. “As sustainability takes centre stage, they’re the perfect solution for businesses aiming to achieve innovative, eco-friendly spaces.”
The Hidden Gem of Sustainable Design
Hydroculture isn’t a new concept – it shares its roots with hydroponics, a well-established method for food production. Yet, in biophilic design, it remains an underutilised technique, making it a hidden gem for businesses committed to sustainability. Leaflike has harnessed hydroculture’s potential so effectively that it has won clients solely on this innovative approach, showcasing an ability to deliver sustainable, eco-friendly spaces tailored to modern business needs.
These soil-free plants are perfect for small spaces, with roots that grow in water or lightweight mediums like clay pellets, eliminating the need for bulky soil containers. Over time, they develop strong, efficient roots that absorb oxygen and nutrients, keeping them healthy with minimal effort.
Hydroculture plants are a dream for biophilic design. They effortlessly fit into modern interiors with sleek planters. Not only do they look stunning, but they also use less water, produce no soil waste, and enhance air quality, all while creating a calming, natural atmosphere.
Hydroculture plants, which are very much alive, offer the best of all worlds: they’re as vibrant as traditional live plants, as long-lasting as preserved ones, and as reliable as artificial ones. Their adaptability and sustainability are a smart way to bring natural beauty and practicality into any space.
