Aeroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. The roots of the plant are exposed to air. Mist is sprayed in the roots for nutrients.

Aeroponics leads to better plant growth as the plants absorb oxygen and nutrient more efficiently

Since aeroponics is a soil-less farming technique, the plant is safe from various soil-borne diseases. The plant also requires fewer pesticides.
