Question

What kind of soil is used to grow plants in space?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Astronauts glue seeds onto the wicking material directionally, so that their roots will grow toward the bottom of the bag and the stems will grow outward. LED lights shine above to give the plants the energy they need to grow, and expandable plastic walls provide protection for the leaves as they get taller

Answer 2

Answer:The Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), like Veggie, is a growth chamber on station for plant research. It uses LED lights and a porous clay substrate with controlled release fertilizer to deliver water, nutrients and oxygen to the plant roots.
