Aeroponic Tower in Bangalore
Aeroponic tower gardens for balconies and terraces, installed with seedlings and a refill plan. Across Bengaluru, with prices on WhatsApp.
For Bengaluru
An aeroponic tower grows lettuce, greens and herbs without soil in about 2 by 2 feet of floor space on a balcony or terrace. A pump lifts nutrient water to the top of the tower and it runs down over the roots. We install the tower, plant the first crop, show you how to run it and supply seedlings and nutrients as a refill plan. The grow light is not included: the tower needs four to six hours of sun, or a grow light bought separately.
Our team for Bangalore serves Whitefield, Electronic City, Outer Ring Road, Manyata Tech Park, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Indiranagar, Hebbal, Yelahanka and Sarjapur Road.
Who it is for — Homes, cafés and schools.

Local conditions
Planning for Bangalore's climate
Fig. 01Climate and soil
Bangalore is mild through the year with two monsoons and red soil. Almost every garden plant grows well here, and the city has a strong culture of terrace gardens and managed farmland.
Fig. 02When to plant and how to care
Planting works from June to November across both monsoons. From March to May, water more and mulch. Winter flowers do well from November.
Aeroponic and Hydroponic Towers · Bangalore
Why the tower keeps producing through most of the year
An aeroponic tower on a Bangalore balcony grows lettuce and greens through nearly the whole year, since the city rarely holds the sustained heat above the mid-30s that makes lettuce bolt and turn bitter in a hotter climate. The water going into the tower's nutrient reservoir matters as much as the temperature, since much of the city's supply outside the Cauvery line comes from borewells into hard granite rock.
Lettuce and other leafy greens bolt and turn bitter once temperatures hold above the mid-30s for an extended stretch, and Bangalore's hottest month, April, still averages only around 34°C in the afternoon, so a balcony tower here stays productive across more of the calendar than in a hotter city.
Water for the nutrient reservoir
Where the tower is filled from a borewell drawing on the city's granite and gneiss bedrock, we treat the water before it goes into the nutrient reservoir, since the calcium and magnesium common in that groundwater can bind with the dosed nutrients and starve the roots even though the reservoir looks full.
Even Bangalore's hottest recorded day, 39.2°C in April 2016, was an outlier rather than a typical summer condition, and a tower's location on a balcony can be adjusted, more shade in April and May, more open placement the rest of the year, to keep the reservoir and the plants within the range where lettuce and greens grow well.
A refill plan built around a mild, steady climate
Because growth rates for lettuce and herbs in a Bangalore tower stay fairly steady across most of the year rather than surging in one season and stalling in another, the seedling and nutrient refill plan we set up runs on a fairly even schedule, with only a modest adjustment for the two monsoon months when light levels drop under cloud cover.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does Bangalore's climate suit a balcony hydroponic tower?
Yes, its mild temperature range means the tower stays productive through more of the year than in a hotter city, where sustained heat above the mid-30s causes leafy greens to bolt.
Can borewell water be used in the tower's nutrient reservoir?
It can, once tested and treated, since untreated borewell water off the city's granite bedrock is often hard enough to interfere with nutrient uptake.
Does the tower need to be moved seasonally in Bangalore?
Some adjustment helps: a little more shade in April and May, when afternoons are warmest, and a more open spot the rest of the year, though the swings needed are smaller than in a hotter city.
How many people can a single tower feed?
A single tower generally supports regular salad and herb use for one household rather than full meal replacement, and a second tower can be added if demand grows.
Do you provide aeroponic and hydroponic towers across Bangalore?
Yes. We work across Bengaluru, including Whitefield, Electronic City, Outer Ring Road, Manyata Tech Park, Koramangala and HSR Layout.

What is an aeroponic tower?
A vertical garden in which plants grow in pockets on a tall column with no soil. A small pump lifts water mixed with nutrients to the top, and it falls through the tower over the roots, which hang in air. Most home towers hold 20 to 40 plants in about 2 by 2 feet of floor space.
What is the difference between an aeroponic and a hydroponic tower?
Both grow plants without soil in nutrient water. In an aeroponic tower the roots hang in air and are sprayed or showered with nutrient water; in most hydroponic towers the roots sit in a growing medium or a film of water. For a home the care is similar: keep the tank topped up, check the pH and nutrients, and keep the pump running.
Is a grow light included?
No. The tower needs four to six hours of direct sun a day, which most south- or west-facing balconies and terraces get. For a shaded spot or indoors, a grow light has to be added and is priced separately.
What can I grow in an aeroponic tower?
Lettuce, spinach, pak choi, kale, basil, mint, coriander and other leafy greens and herbs grow best. Strawberries, cherry tomatoes and capsicum can grow with support and more light. Root crops such as carrot and potato are not suited to a tower.
How much space does an aeroponic tower need?
About 2 by 2 feet of floor space, a nearby power socket for the pump, and four to six hours of sunlight or a grow light.
What does an aeroponic tower cost?
Send us a WhatsApp message with your city and where the tower will stand. We reply with the right tower size and the price installed, including the first seedlings, nutrients and training. A grow light, if you need one, is extra.
