Aeroponics is the cultivation of plants in an air or mist environment rather than in soil or another solid growing medium, with the plant roots suspended and periodically misted with a nutrient solution. The term comes from the ancient Greek words for air and labor, and the technique is generally classed as a form of hydroponics, since water is still used to carry nutrients to the plants even though no soil or aggregate medium is present.
