The Design
About Quattro Inomhus smart trädgård
Quattro är en smart inomhusträdgård för att odla växter hemma. Designen består av tre delar: en glaserad keramisk vattenbas, fyra oglaserade terrakottakrukor och en växtlampa på en metallram. Vatten passerar långsamt genom den mikroporösa terrakottan, så att rötterna endast tar upp den mängd de behöver. Metoden följer ollan, en urgammal bevattningsteknik, och möjliggör vattenautonomi i upp till två veckor. Lampan använder odlingslysdioder med en timer inställd på tolv timmar på och tolv timmar av. Formen är inspirerad av de slutna trädgårdarna i medeltida klosterkorsgångar.

- 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.
