Hydroponics kit for kids

[johnm]

My kids are curious about growing plants, and I thought of some hydroponic kits in Amazon might be a fun project. Do you think those are simple enough for beginners

Hi @johnm! Yes, the basic countertop kits are very beginner‑friendly. The pumps and lights are usually automated, so there’s not much to manage beyond topping up water. Are you looking at herb kits or something a bit bigger like lettuce?

I think more like the small ones first. We'll probably start with herbs. Thanks @Alan!

Most of the Amazon starter kits are designed with beginners (and kids) in mind. I used one with my niece last year, and she loved watching the roots grow. What kind of plants are your kids most excited to try?
