With the Beautanic Lifestyle hydrokit you can transfer your plant from potting soil to hydroponics. The hydro system contains a water meter and water reservoir. This allows you to see exactly when and how much water your plant needs. One type of plant is stronger than the other. Many types of plants can be grown on the system, but not all types have been tested for this. In the list below you will find plants that are and are not recommended for the system and plant types that have not yet been tested.

If your plant species is not listed, it probably hasn't been tested yet.
The success of repotting depends on several factors. Tips:
- Repot the plant in spring. The plant has more (sun)light and can therefore grow and root better.
- Choose a location that suits the light requirements of the plant. This is often indicated on the product label. Read more about the light requirements of plants here.
- Make sure the plant always has enough water. The first few weeks the plant converts its roots from soil roots to water roots. Hydro plants have water roots and like to be in water all the time. Keep an eye on the water meter for this.
- Give Beautanic Superfood with every watering. This food contains the right elements that keep a plant extra strong and healthy.
