How do you make a plant roots defy geotropism?
Hello everybody
I was wondering how a plants roots can defy gravity, meaning disproving geotropism. Yes I know, there will be gravity pulling down the roots, but I need to find a way to make the roots defy gravity. My project ideas are to use a hydroponics set. First I would put a seed in a plastic clear container filled with water. In the middle of the container would be mesh to prevent the seed from falling to the bottom and allowing the roots to grow through the mesh. As the roots have grown a little bit, I plan to take the seed and its roots, and suspend its roots with some string and a trellis. The seed would be facing to the bottom of the container. Would this idea disprove geotropism? Your comments, remarks, retorts, and suggestions are much appreciated! =D

What do you do when your aerogarden roots are out of control?
I have grown about 5 different groups of aerogarden herbs. I absolutely love the invention. For some reason in this batch of gourmet herb kit the roots in a few of the pods are just so over grown crazy. I have never had a root being so grown that it actually seems to block water flow. What can i do to preserve the plant and keep it healty?
