Now that spring is here, those in the horticultural/nursery trade have gardeners roaming their store aisles, purchasing new plants for their gardens. It is the nursery owner's job to make sure that their tables are always well stocked with a variety of plants that appeal to home gardeners. In addition, there are always special events such as home and garden shows and plant sales that require a large inventory of young plants. This is when you will want to give serious consideration to using an aeroponic cloner to help you produce new plants quickly. Aeroponic cloning is the fast way to produce sturdy young plants easily. An aeroponic cloner is also useful when you are using hydroponic kits, which need new plants frequently.


An aeroponics cloner uses the same mechanisms for aeroponic gardening in order to get plant cuttings to take root. The cuttings are held suspended in air, and a misting system is used that sprays the bottom of the cuttings with a fine spray of rooting hormone. Because conditions are very clean and completely suited to rooting cuttings, you can expect your cuttings to show good roots in as little as five to ten days. After this, the young plants can be grown on in an aeroponics gardening system, or transferred to hydroponic kits, where the plants will grow in a growing medium, or they can be potted up in soil in individual four-inch or one-gallon sized pots for retail sales.


You can find an aeroponic cloner in several different sizes. A quality aeroponics cloner will come with a tray that will hold anywhere from 45, 70 or 165 cuttings, so you can select the size that will best meet your needs. A busy gardening center with a great deal of turnaround on plant sales will likely want one of the larger sizes of aeroponics cloner in order to keep up with demand for young plants.


An aeroponic cloner will come with several different components. You can expect to see some type of submersible pump and microjets in the system. A reservoir tank will also usually be included, as will some sort of clear cover for the top of the aeroponic cloning tray. You will use your aeroponics cloner with some type of rooting solution, as well as a water treatment solution to keep the water clear and fresh. By using aeroponic cloning together with hydroponic kits, you will see rapid growth in your cuttings, strong and healthy root systems forming quickly, giving you quality plants to grow on hydroponically or to sell at market.
