ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the propagation of plant cuttings under aeroponic conditions. An aqueous plant growth nutrient and hormone composition is applied as an intermittent hydro-atomized mist to plant cuttings suspended in an enclosed chamber. The aqueous composition is formed by mixing tap water at standard pressure, and a concentrated hormone, nutrient or other plant growth composition in a suction venturi, and directing the aqueous composition through a distributing manifold to mist nozzles. The venturi and distributing manifold are periodically drained to allow subsequent venturi suction and mixing. Timer controlled solenoid valves regulate the water flow and drain. Excess aqueous composition may be recirculated or discarded.
