Hydroponics usually requires a greater technical knowledge than crop growth in soil (geoponics).[1]
Hydroponics usually requires more expensive equipment than geoponics. Most hydroponic crops are grown in greenhouses or controlled environment agriculture.[2]
Hydroponics usually requires more frequent maintenance than geoponics. If timers or electric pumps fail or the system clogs or springs a leak, plants can die very quickly in many kinds of hydroponic systems.[3]
For the previous three reasons, hydroponic crops are usually more expensive than soil-grown crops.[4]
Solution culture hydroponics requires that the plants be supported because the roots have no anchorage without a solid medium
