Aeroponic Method

Aeroponic Method
aer·o·pon·ics /ˌerōˈpäniks/ – a plant-cultivation technique in which the roots hang suspended in the air while nutrient solution is delivered to them in the form of a fine mist.

The basic principle of aeroponic growing is to grow plants suspended above the nutrients by spraying the plant’s dangling roots and lower stem with the nutrient-rich water solution. The leaves and crown extend above. The roots of the plant are separated by the plant support structure. Often, closed-cell foam (pool noodle slices) is compressed around the lower stem and inserted into an opening in the aeroponic chamber.

Ideally, the environment is kept free from pests and disease so that the plants may grow healthier and more quickly than plants grown in a medium. Controlled environments advance plant development, health, growth, flowering and fruiting for any given plant species and cultivars.
