Hydroculture is the growing of plants in a soilless medium, or an aquatic based environment. Plant nutrients are distributed via water.
The word "hydro" derives its name from the Greek word "ύδορ" (hudor) meaning water, hence hydroculture = water culture. Hydroculture is aquatic horticulture.
In basic hydroculture or passive hydroponics, water and nutrients are distributed through capillary action. In hydroponics-like hydroculture, water and nutrients are distributed by some form of pumping mechanism.
