About Quattro Asa Fototra: Zaridaina Marani-tsaina Anaty Trano

Lahatsoratry ny Boky: Quattro dia zaridaina marani-tsaina anaty trano ho an'ny fambolena zavamaniry any an-trano. Ny endri-javatra dia misy singa telo: fototra vita amin'ny tanimanga mandrehitra rano, vilany taniloto efatra tsy voarehitra ary jiro fambolena mifantoka amin'ny rafitra vy. Mandeha miadana ny rano manerana ny taniloto misy loaka madinika, ka ny faka dia mandray ihany ny habetsahan-drano ilainy. Ity fomba ity dia manaraka ny "olla", teknika fanondrahana ela be, ary mamela fahaleovan-tena amin'ny rano mandritra ny hatramin'ny roa herinandro. Ny jiro dia mampiasa lambaramihodina jiro momba ny horticulture (LED) miaraka amin'ny famantarana ora voafetra amin'ny ora roa ambin'ny folo mirehitra sy ora roa ambin'ny folo maty. Ny endriny dia nalaina tahaka ny zaridaina mihodidina ao anaty tranon'ny relijiozy tamin'ny andro fahagola (medieval cloisters).

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.
