AEROPONICS
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment
without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). The
word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of "aero" (air) and
"ponos" (labour).
Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics and in-vitro
(plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a
growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics
is conducted without a growing medium. Because water is used in aeroponics
to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics.
Methods
The basic principle of aeroponic growing is to grow plants suspended in a
closed or semi-closed environment by spraying the plant's dangling roots
and lower stem with an atomized, nutrient-rich water solution. The leaves
and crown, often called the "canopy", extend above. The roots of the plant
are separated by the plant support structure. Many times closed cell foam
is compressed around the lower stem and inserted into an opening in the
aeroponic chamber, which decreases labor and expense; for larger plants,
trellising is used to suspend the weight of vegetation and fruit.
Ideally, the environment is kept free from pests and disease so that the
plants may grow healthier and quicker than plants grown in a medium.
However, since most aeroponic environments are not perfectly closed off
to the outside, pests and disease may still cause a threat. Controlled
environments advance plant development, health, growth, flowering and
fruiting for any given plant species and cultivars.

WHAT IS
AEROPONICS
Aeroponics is a great alternative for growing plants in small spaces,
especially indoors. Aeroponics is similar to hydroponics, as neither
method uses soil to grow plants; however, with hydroponics, water is
used as a growing medium. In aeroponics, no growing medium is used.
Instead, the roots of plants are suspended or hung in a dark chamber
and periodically sprayed with nutrient-rich solution.
