Aeroponic

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of "aero" (air) and "ponos" (labour). Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Aeroponic equipment involves the use of sprayers, misters, foggers, or other devices to create a fine mist of water to deliver nutrients to plant roots. Because water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics.
