Plants can be grown without soil (scientists have developed a gel-like substance that can sustain plants), but not in milk. Plants need both the nutrients of water and decomposing organic matter as well as a supportive structure for the roots, which milk cannot provide. You can grow bacteria in milk, but that's about it.

Do plants grown hydroponically or in soil?

Plants can be grown both hydroponically and in soil. In hydroponic systems, plants grow in a nutrient-rich water solution without soil. In traditional soil-based gardening, plants grow in natural soil with nutrients available for uptake. Both methods have their advantages and can support healthy plant growth.


How do you explain to a 5 year old child about plants need soil?

Plants need soil to grow because soil provides nutrients, water, and support for their roots. Just like how we need food to grow healthy and strong, plants need soil to stay healthy and grow big and tall. Soil is like a cozy home for plants, where they can get everything they need to live and thrive.


Why does soil need water?

Soil needs water for plants to grow. Water facilitates the transfer of nutrients from the soil to the plant roots, assists in the breakdown of minerals for absorption, and helps maintain soil structure and health. Additionally, water helps regulate temperature and supports the organisms living in the soil ecosystem.
