What exactly are hydroponics and aeroponics? Well, in both methods, plants grow without soil, just like little green astronauts floating in space. The main difference is how the plants get water and nutrients. In hydroponics, the roots either sit directly in nutrient-rich water or the water gets delivered to the roots, through flooding, dripping, wicking, and so on. With aeroponics, it's all about misting the roots with a fine spray of nutrient solution. The roots hang suspended in air and get misted several times a day. It's like your plants are getting a refreshing spa treat.
