What is aeroponics?
A variation and evolution ofhydroponics, aeroponics is a modern and efficient growing method that is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world.
Aeroponics is becoming more and more popular among individuals for domestic use, and is very appropriate for indoor use.
Generally speaking, aeroponics is based on an irrigation system, which automatically and uniformly distributes the nutrient solution to the plants, in the form of sprays at the roots of the plants.
True soilless culture, aeroponics is characterized by a total absence (or almost) of substrate.
In fact, aeroponics implies that the roots of the plants evolve in the air.
Thus suspended, the plants in aeroponics benefit from an oxygenated fertilization, sprayed, evolving and controlled, with the help ofEC and pH testers.

What is the most common aeroponics configuration?
In most cases, aeroponics takes the form of a horticultural system, equipped with a powerful water pump that feeds a closed irrigation circuit.
Also called ebb and flow, this advanced version of hydroponics, aeroponics implies that the nutrient solution is necessarily recycled, that is to say that it circulates and is continuously re-injected to the plants.
Aeroponics plants are generally placed in a culture chamber, called aero top, which is itself placed on a tray, a culture support, and then, on a reservoir designed to receive the nutrient solution.
In aeroponics, the automatic fertilization is controlled by a mechanical or electronic programmer, to cycle its contributions and thus meet the needs of the plants progressively, according to the stage of culture.
Made necessarily homogeneous, this same irrigation by sprays is produced by means of rotating or fixed sprayers, as on the aeroponic models: the Aero Pro, the Aero Star or the Super Cloner from Platinium Hydroponicsor the Panda Aero, the Dutch Pots or the Aeroflo from GHE, the Amazon or X-Stream from Nutriculture LTD...
Why is aeroponics a very popular growing method in urban areas, according to growshops.fr?
Contrary to popular belief, aeroponics is an innovative way of growing that is affordable to all, without the need for any horticultural diploma, and fully dedicated to indoor growing.
Even in the city, aeroponics offers to all households the optimized development of ornamental plants and access toself-production of fruits, vegetables, herbs... All year round, without worrying about external climatic conditions!
Indeed, when opting for aeroponics, the need to have EC and pH testers (maintained and regularly calibrated) provides a beneficial and reassuring monitoring of the nutrient solution distributed to plants.
Considering the impressive productivity generated by this growing method, aeroponics also leads to a gain of occupied surface, an increased productivity and an easier maintenance than the traditional growing on potting soils.
Moreover, aeroponics is a self-sufficient and practical horticultural method, since the plants are self-fed by an automatic irrigation system, the absence of substrate means less management and the nutrient solution has to be changed every 7 to 10 days.
