What Is Aeroponics?
- Aeroponics is growing plants in an environment with air or mist, not soil or water.
- Aeroponics is different from hydroponics, aquaponics, and traditional in-the-soil gardening.
- The thing with this type of gardening system is that there is no medium for the roots to grow into. Instead, the roots simply dangle in the air and are periodically fed by the water misted over them.
- When this system is used, the seeds that these plants grow from are placed in foam, and then they are put into pots. Again, no soil is used. The foam with the seeds is, instead, exposed to light on one side, and mist is applied to the other side to keep the roots moist and the plant fed.
How it works?
- The roots of the fruits and vegetables being grown in hydroponics are placed in a soilless medium. There are various options available in terms of growing mediums for hydroponics. This includes coco coir, rockwool, perlite, and vermiculite. Each of the mediums have their own strengths and weaknesses based on the plants one intends to grow.
- Aeroponics, however, eliminates the need for selecting a growing medium entirely. Instead, plants are suspended in pots in a way so as to allow their roots to dangle in the air. The now easily accessible roots are periodically sprinkled with a unique nutrient-rich mist in order to supply the plants with the necessary nutrition. Many misting devices are now available in the market for just this purpose.
