Abstract

Hydroponic orchid (Phalaenopsis) growing is a modern agricultural technique that is growing in popularity due to its ability to produce high quality orchid plants with efficient use of resources. Hydroponics is an agricultural method that does not use soil media, but rather nutrient solutions specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of plants. In orchid cultivation, hydroponics offers several advantages, including more precise nutrient control, a more sterile growing environment, and a reduced risk of soil-borne pests and diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the hydroponic method in orchid cultivation, focusing on vegetative growth, flower quality and the efficiency of water and nutrient use. The results of the study showed that orchids grown hydroponically had faster growth and better flower quality compared to conventional methods. The average growth of orchid roots in the aquaponic system was 2mm per week and the growth of orchid roots without hydroponics was approximately 1.3mm per week.

Abstract

A greenhouse is a controlled environment designed to enhance plant productivity by regulating microclimatic conditions. However, in many greenhouse systems, the irrigation process is still performed manually, resulting in suboptimal water use efficiency and inconsistent watering schedules. The SMASHTHETIC greenhouse serves as a cultivation facility for the moth orchid (Phalaenopsis amabilis), which requires precise control of substrate moisture and ambient humidity to ensure optimal growth and flowering. This study aims to design and implement an automatic irrigation system based on Arduino and the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve irrigation efficiency in the SMASHTHETIC greenhouse. The system consists of a soil moisture sensor, Arduino microcontroller, Wi-Fi module (ESP8266/ESP32), and actuators such as a water pump and solenoid valve to regulate water flow. IoT integration enables real-time monitoring and remote control via web and smartphone applications. Experimental results show that the system automatically adjusts watering frequency and duration based on soil moisture data, providing convenience for users and reducing manual intervention. Therefore, this study demonstrates that the integration of Arduino and IoT technologies in greenhouse irrigation supports the development of smart agriculture practices that are more efficient, sustainable, and productive.
