Are our Future Garden Towers an aeroponic tower or a hydroponic tower?

The Aeroponics Revolution: A Soilless Future

The world of horticulture has changed dramatically in recent years, and hydroponic systems are playing a crucial role in this. One particularly exciting area is aeroponics, a technique that turns traditional ideas about growing plants on their head.

Technically, aeroponics is a subset of hydroponics, but it differs from traditional methods in many ways.

While in traditional hydroponics the roots are embedded in a substrate and/or constantly submerged in water, in aeroponics they hang freely in the air. This allows an unparalleled supply of oxygen to the roots, which leads to a remarkable supply of nutrients to the plant.

Contrary to traditional ideas, aeroponics is not just about how the roots are supplied with nutrients. The key innovation is that the roots spend much of their time in the air, creating a unique environment that promotes plant growth and development.

There are two main types of aeroponic systems: high pressure aeroponics (HPA) and low pressure aeroponics (LPA). While both systems produce similar results, the HPA system allows for the creation of ultra-fine droplets with a diameter of less than 50 µm, allowing for even more efficient nutrient uptake.

Scientific studies have shown that plants grown in aeroponic systems are more nutrient dense and show an increase in antioxidant and phenolic levels. In addition, aeroponics results in an average increase in crop yield of 35%-45% and a water saving of over 40% compared to traditional hydroponics.

Technical specifications:

High pressure aeroponics (HPA) produces droplets with a diameter of less than 50 µm.

Low pressure aeroponics (LPA) produces normal-sized droplets.

Future Garden, a pioneer in aeroponic technology, has manufactured countless aeroponic towers with its partners in recent years. These towers, whether for home use or for commercial applications, symbolize the future of horticulture: a future without soil but with infinite possibilities.

In a world where the need for sustainable growing space is constantly growing, aeroponics is a promising solution. By leveraging the latest technologies and innovations, we can create a future where we take better care of not only our plants, but also our planet.
