Why Grow Hydroponic Strawberries?
This style of growing does not use any soil. Instead, an inert media is used to anchor the plant’s roots in place. The root system grows through this medium and is exposed directly to water or a nutrient solution. 
So what are the advantages of growing strawberries in a hydroponic system? Since there is no soil, you do not need to use pesticides to treat any soil-based pests or diseases. This makes your work as a grower more environmentally friendly and cleaner. In addition, hydroponic strawberry plants are less prone to flying insects! You may feel that you will eventually consume more water due to the constant supply of water. In fact, hydroponics is more water efficient . Because we are using the water cycle model instead of continuously injecting fresh water into the plants. Therefore, it is only necessary to replace the water at a fixed time to maintain the stability of the water quality. As for the replaced water, it can also be used for planting.
