About Rocket Salad (Arugula)
Rocket salad, also known as arugula, is a popular leafy green valued for its distinct peppery flavour. It is widely used in salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches, pizzas and as a garnish. This fast-growing plant is easy to cultivate and produces tender leaves ideal for fresh, everyday use.
Hydroponics & Smart Garden Compatibility
Arugula performs exceptionally well in hydroponic and smart indoor garden systems, where stable moisture and nutrients help it develop softer, more flavourful leaves. In hydroponics, arugula can grow noticeably faster than in soil, making it ideal for quick, continuous harvesting. Smart gardens allow year-round cultivation regardless of season.

Growing & Harvesting
