  • Summary

  • In this episode of Hydroponics Daily, we delve into the fascinating world of plant life cycles, focusing on monocarpic and polycarpic plants. Discover what determines whether plants like wheat, lettuce, and the Himalayan lily die off after flowering, and why some species like bamboo flower all at once then perish.

    We explore examples from different plant families, discussing both annual and perennial plants and their unique fruiting characteristics. Learn why it's crucial to know your plant's life cycle, especially if you're maintaining them in a hydroponic setup, and uncover some intriguing examples of polycarpic plants like wasabi, plums, and hops that thrive year after year.
