Water is life for so many plants, and in hydroponics it's often the delivery method of water, oxygen, and nutrients. Whenever available, we recommend using Reverse Osmosis or other filtered water. Municipal tap water in many locals works great as well.
Full of all the good stuff - these Hydroponic Nutrient Drops like to be shaken, not stirred, to ensure an even distribution of essential nutrients with every dose.
Away with measuring cups, scales, and expensive measurement devices. Hello to simple, efficient nutrient drops. As easy as 1....2....3.... for happy plants.
Propagations, houseplants, even leafy vegetables are all going to thank you. Whether you're growing in a Modern Botanical vase or another home setup, the plant options are nearly endless. Have fun growing!

Here's a Care Guide to Growing in Water if you'd like to learn more.
Is growing plants in water seriously that easy?
Yes! We love planting in water because of how clean and easy it is. To keep your plants alive, simply ensure that they’re kept in an area without much temperature variation, refill the water every 2 weeks, and a monthly couple drops of nutrients. A full care guide can be found here.
How do I find cuttings for your products?
Sourcing plants is one of the most exciting parts of owning our Grow Frames and Hangers. The first places we generally look for cuttings are existing houseplants, swapping with friends and family, and buying plants to use for cuttings from local nurseries. Additionally, we'll be selling cuttings as an optional add-on from late March - October if you'd like our curated selection.
For more info on finding plants to grow in our products, check outthis guide here.
Each frame comes with a mounting guide to ensure easy hanging on any wall. Tape the guide to the wall where you'd like your frame and plant(s) to hang. Follow the simple instructions, and voila!
For a step-by-step walkthrough, here's a video of Modern Botanical co-founder, Conrad, going through the mounting process in our San Diego woodshop:
How long will my plants survive in water?
Plants purchased from Modern Botanical should stay healthy for at least a year. Beyond that, it varies by variety, but some plants, like the monstera deliciosa, have been known to survive for over a decade in water. Plant selection is key, which is why we only sell plants that thrive in water.
One of the three plants is dying. Definitely won’t buy again.
Hydroponic Nutrient Drops
Not only are their products helping the growth of my hydroponic plants, but when the order of large droppers arrived, there was a small leak that continued to happen when I pulled the dropper out. I emailed if I could get a replacement dropper and the ease of working with their customer service was amazing. Would highly recommend!
Update: I added a star back. The customer support is insane. They reached out so quickly as you can see below on this review. I think it just goes to show how much they care about their customer and their experience. It makes me feel confident that if I have any issues with my future order, I can reach out to them first.
Original: I just want to start off by saying I love this nutrient drops, and I'm so glad I found y'all through Instagram. But the one huge thing I have with this is the bottle or more specifically the cap. Everytime I unscrew it, it's always dripping everywhere. There's no way for me to use this product without getting bunch of excess drops everywhere. It just adds to extra time for clean up of the bottle and the area. But overall the nutrient is great. Some of my plants that I moved to water are sprouting out new roots, which haven't happened in the weeks I've put it in. I suggest maybe upgrading the cap or maybe have more quality control so the spillage isn't a huge issue.
Hey Jen, Thanks for your review. Sorry that you had an issue, We've recently had an upgrade but you might have gotten an older one.
What we are going to do is sent you a replacement so you don't have any more spillage :).
These drops are great! I had had a ZZ plant in water for a few months with nothing happening… as soon as I put the drops in it started forming roots. All my other water plants are happy as well and making new leaves and growing more roots.
My plants are thriving and look beautiful. I am now addicted to hydroponic growing. Plan on purchasing more in the future.
Hydroponic Nutrient Drops
I love anything that is fool proof and easy to use. These nutrient drops are perfect! I have just started using them, so I hope to see that the nutrition for my hydroponic plants is just what they need.
I grow a lot of plants hydroponically and was so excited to find a plant food specifically for that exact growing method. Only the best for my plant babies, after all. I’ve just started using it but everyone is handling it well thus far!
I live in the Pacific North West. I ordered two sets of plant hangers as Christmas gifts. I was impressed by how quickly the order was shipped and the plants arrived in great shape. They are healthy and beautiful. I'm so excited to see them grow. What a great idea!!
