Operation chili transplantation
About 1.5 years ago I made an aeroponic setup for 2 7pod chili plants. I grew them from seed in this system. I wanted to find out if I could grow chilis in such an aeroponic setup and I think I can say: yes, it works! So now it’s time to improve. Version 2 is focused on the looks. Version one was just a big storage box with a lid. We tried to cover the ugliness of this box by hiding it behind a piece of fabric. Still not the typical thing you would normally want to have standing around in your living room so we did some shopping:
I first glued the hooks in but that was not such a success. They didn’t hold that good so went for a screw approach later on.
Cutting out what looks like a toilet seat, but should be a cover for the egg shaped pot.
And the pump in action. I had to cover the hole to not spill the water.
Trying to take out the plant. Roots everywhere!
And the wood chips to cover the top.
Some more roots (also from the second plant)
And final destination. Next to the little hydro/aero coffee plant.
