hydroponically

Grown in water

Hydroponically means by the method of hydroponics—growing plants in nutrient-rich water rather than soil.

The roots sit in liquid solution or inert material like gravel while receiving minerals directly: hydroponically grown tomatoes, lettuce raised hydroponically in vertical farms.

The technique allows cultivation in controlled environments year-round.
