About Quattro Vidinis išmanusis sodas

Quattro yra vidinis išmanusis sodas augalams auginti namuose. Dizainą sudaro trys dalys: glazūruoto keramikos pagrindo vandens talpykla, keturi neglazūruoti terakotos vazonai ir auginimo lempa ant metalinio karkaso. Vanduo lėtai prasiskverbia per mikroporėtą terakotą, todėl šaknys pasisavina tik tiek vandens, kiek joms reikia. Šis metodas remiasi olla – senovine drėkinimo technika – ir leidžia augalams išsiversti be papildomo vandens iki dviejų savaičių. Lempoje naudojami sodininkystei skirti šviesos diodai (LED), veikiantys pagal laikmatį – dvylika valandų šviesos ir dvylika valandų tamsos. Forma įkvėpta uždarų viduramžių vienuolynų sodų.

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.
