A manipulative for an experiment only applicable to plants w/ airborne roots?

[The Titanium]

I've been trying to come up with an original variable to change that could possibly be conducive to plant growth while using aeroponics to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could use as a manipulative that'd only be of use if the plant in question was using aeroponics? Thanks in advance.
All irrelevant responses are to be ignored, sorry.

cocoa

edit:
real cocoa, not that drink mix kind

Make sprouts levitate by inserting helium into roots and a heavier gas on the leaves.

How would I even do that? I think I should note that I don't have infinite resources either.

Sounds interesting, could you explain what its relation to aeroponics is?

whether or not it's been BLESSED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Sing the plants soothing songs.

He may be on to something...

GIVE THE PLANTS HOLY WATER AND CHANT "THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU".

you know without soil, things cant really grow properly.
still need nutrients.
cocoa being misted is guud stuff

I imagined I'd add basic nutrients to a humidifier that'd give the plants nutrients... (I admit I haven't thought about how I'd get these)
So, you're suggesting I use cocoa in place of these?

Dunno, attach small balloons to it and add balloons with the heavier gas on it.

It doesn't cost that much either. ($6 per gallon)

What would it achieve anyway?
What is there to test?

I thought you want to make levitating plants.

[The Titanium]

No, I wanted to create an experiment that was only applicable to plants that use aeroponics -the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil.

Mistletoe? It does not grow in soil, but on the tree as a parasite.

[The Titanium]

If it cannot grow in soil, how would it be able to absorb nutrients and water from vapor?
What am I testing about mistletoe anyway?

Oh, you could cut a bamboo plant and put it in water.
