Potato plants are grown from seed potatoes, small whole potatoes, or cut larger potatoes, specifically grown and stored for this purpose.
 

Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Plants are grown suspended in a closed environment. Roots are sprayed with a nutrient-rich solution to provide.

The International Potato Center (CIP) promotes the use of aeroponics for the production of disease-free mini tubers.
