PurLec Hydroculture
This is a really nice company. I have spoken personally by telephone to one of the owners of this company a few times. We have also exchanged numerous emails and the company sent me water gauges and inner pots. Really nice people. Great selection of products.

Interior Water Gardens
I have spent an abundance of time visiting and revisiting this website. They focus on products and information on growing Orchids in hydroculture. But they do offer hydroculture kits so I will add them to this list for people looking for online websites selling complete hydroculture setups.

Beginning Hydroponics
This is mainly a hydroponics online shop but I’ve added them because they do offer one of the most important components for hydroculture: clay pellets.

Airline Hydroponics is also a hydroponics online shop but with hydroculture items available.

Houseplant Hydroculture
This is one of the first websites I ran across while
searching for information on hydroculture. It explains the hydroculture method for
houseplants but there is something very exceptional about this site: the owner
has created another unique style. When you visit this site you will be
introduced to the pot and saucer method, which is another innovative way to handle
the wonderful method of hydroculture.

Mr. Brown Thumb
I first met ‘Mr Brown Thumb’ - the individual who maintains this blog -
on the GardenWeb Houseplant Forum.
Aside from a hefty knowledge of plants, I was impressed by his passion for indoor and outdoor gardening. After
visiting his profile, I discovered his well-maintained, very informative site. Stroll over when you have the time;
it’s worth a visit. You’ll learn a few things and view some beautiful photographs that he's taken personally.

GardenJoy4Me
I discovered this nice site on blotanical
when I searched for blogs located in the charming and beautiful city of Kingston, Ontario. Kingston
is one of Canada’s best kept secrets; it offers the best of both worlds - big city services and
small town hospitality.
Joy, the narrator of this website, shares her garden adventures along with many other aspects of her
life, with well-written posts that include humour and beautiful photos. She also talks about the erratic
Canadian weather that she and I share - something you find me often grumbling about in my
Hydro Logs.
Give this site a visit; it’s worth it.
