About Quattro Notranji pametni vrt

Quattro je notranji pametni vrt za gojenje rastlin doma. Zasnova ima tri dele: glazirano keramično osnovo za vodo, štiri neglazirane lončene posode iz terakote in rastlinsko svetilko na kovinskem okvirju. Voda počasi prehaja skozi mikroporozno terakoto, tako da korenine vpijejo le toliko vode, kolikor je potrebujejo. Metoda sledi olli, starodavni namakalni tehniki, in omogoča do dva tedna samostojne oskrbe z vodo brez dolivanja. Svetilka uporablja hortikulturne diode LED s časovnikom, nastavljenim na dvanajst ur delovanja in dvanajst ur mirovanja. Oblika je navdihnjena po zaprtih vrtovih srednjeveških samostanskih križnih hodnikov.

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.
