A frequently asked question in hydroponics is, whether it's possible to transplant plants from a hydroponic system into soil. As these strawberries show, it is absolutely possible. We already tried lettuce and cucumbers successfully, too. It's important to supply enough water in the first days and not to damage too many roots.

Lettuce everywhere
🥬🥬🥬🥬

If your lettuce is ready for harvest but you don't have any use yet, just place it in a pot filled with water. It will stay fresh for a few more days and it is a beautiful houseplant.

These plants could have been transplanted a few days ago. Maybe, we should harvest these salads as baby leaves?! 🤔
