About Quattro Peamine funktsioon: Nutikas siseaed

Raamatu tekst: Quattro on nutikas siseaed taimede kasvatamiseks kodus. Disainil on kolm osa: glasuuritud keraamiline veealus, neli glasuurimata terrakotapotti ja kasvulamp metallraamil. Vesi liigub aeglaselt läbi mikropoorse terrakota, mistõttu juured saavad ainult neile vajaliku koguse. Meetod järgib olla-tehnikat, iidset niisutusviisi, ja võimaldab kuni kahe nädala pikkust veeautonoomiat. Lamp kasutab aiandusotstarbelisi valgusdioode koos taimeriga, mis on seatud kaheteistkümnele tunnile sees ja kaheteistkümnele tunnile väljas. Vorm on inspireeritud keskaegsete kloostrite suletud aedadest.

Unique Properties
Quattro is a ceramic smart garden with the best light for plants.
We use an ancestral and very effective and 100% natural irrigation system, the “OLLA”. The oldest known traces were found in China 4,000 years ago. Ancient Rome also used this technique. Thanks to the use of micro-porous terracotta, the roots draw the quantity of water necessary for their needs. In this way, the water shock is avoided and plant growth is harmonious. In addition, reduction in water consumption with a water autonomy of up to 2-3 weeks.
In addition, Quattro is provided of a special Grow lamp with an integrated timer that reproduces sun sequence.
With this eco smart garden you can literally grow almost every type of plants indoor with a GREEN technology.
