ABSTRACT:
A unique hydroponic system for growing plants in nutrient aerosol spray is provided by a change in the growth cycle of plants when a secondary system of roots is produced after some initial plant development and, as the secondary system is developed from the plant's branches, the secondary roots are already suspended in an air environment and subsequently become an air-suspended root system and then the principal root system of the plant. Since the new roots are developed by a special type of air-layering which is a nutrient spray type of air-layering, this system improves former systems in that it removes the time consuming requirement of transplantation, the initial roots merely remaining in place while the air-layered roots developed from the branches become a very augmented root system and remain in the same position to continue to receive the nutrient spray. A perforated cover together with a nutrient spray are merely set in place over the plant at a stage in its growth in order to implement this system.
