About Quattro Barruko Lorategi Adimenduna

Quattro etxean landareak hazteko barruko lorategi adimendun bat da. Diseinuak hiru zati ditu: zeramikazko ur-oinarri beiratu bat, lauki terrakotazko lore-ontzi beiratu gabe eta metalezko egitura baten gainean jarritako hazte-lanpara bat. Ura poliki-poliki igarotzen da terrakota mikroporotsutik, sustraiek behar duten kantitatea bakarrik har dezaten. Metodoak olla, antzinako ureztatze-teknika bati jarraitzen dio, eta bi asterainoko ur-autonomia ahalbidetzen du. Lanparak diodo argi-igorle hortikolak erabiltzen ditu, tenporizadore batekin, hamabi ordu piztuta eta hamabi itzalita programatuta. Forma erdi aroko klaustroetako lorategi itxietan inspiratuta dago.

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.
