We have discovered that plants don’t exactly enjoy soil and that they only rely on it for support & to retain water that allows the nutrients to be taken from the soil through the roots.
Roots = Growth
Plants leaves need CO 2 to survive and grow; The roots need oxygen for proper function. This is why we are aiming to leave soil behind considering soil doesn’t allow for maximum oxygen. The more oxygen available to easier it is for the plant to transport nutrients and start cell division. Aeroponics was designed to provide a near perfect growing environment for the roots which like I said equals growth and yield.
Cleaning off the already solidified root and soil combination will require you to soak first of all to allow the soil and roots to loosen. This is important because of plant shock that can occur.
This dirt needs to be eliminated from the system because of clogs and contaminant problems that will be easier to prevent than to fix. In Aeroponics if a pump fails a plant will not survive long and will have permanent damage that will lessen your yield which is what its all about. Adding a filter over the intake of your pump may be necessary.Gently spraying the roots and soil will help to clean it after soaking for a few hours.
