Ever thought about a vertical garden at home?

Italian “green lovers” are on the rise: it is ainvestigation of the Observatory The World After Lockdown by Nomisma to highlight some data on the subject. In 2019, in fact, the passion for gardening would have involved about 32% of the population and the quarantine would have been a stimulating factor for increasing consensus by passing from 16 to 19 million green enthusiasts in just one year.

But unfortunately, not everyone has the necessary space to cultivate their own vegetable garden and, in other cases, much less the right skills and the most appropriate tools. For this segment of users, in fact, the so-called ones have already been on the market for some time smart “indoor” gardens that is, intelligent vases that can be installed inside an apartment and that take advantage of the technology for automatically irrigate and illuminate plants so that they can grow in the best conditions.

Among the most recent proposals, for example, there is Hedera: a vertical garden indoor designed for growing both vegetable plants and ornamental flowers at home. Taking advantage of home automation, this solution it can be placed in any environment and allows, through an app, to control and manage the microenvironment remotely via your smartphone by adjusting the lighting of the integrated LEDs and irrigation: in fact, the lower vessel is designed to act as a water reserve and, using a hydraulic system powered by an immersion pump, can guarantee up to 5 weeks of autonomy.

«The advantages of this vertical domestic garden are many. First of all gives anyone the opportunity to grow plants and aromatic essences where before it could not have done so due to lack of space, light and time. This also allows those who do not have a green thumb to enjoy the benefits that plants offer us both from a psychological point of view – orthotherapy – and from a physical point of view through the improvement of indoor air quality»Explains the Hedera staff and continues« At home, as in the office, those who choose to install a smart indoor garden live in a big city, where often the climate and smog do not make it possible to grow plants outside and the lack of of space and time hinder the discovery of the passion for plants ».

Entrusted to Anna And Gian Franco Gasparinistyle 100% Made in Italy of Hedera has been treated with precision and targeted attention, not only to aesthetics but above all to the environmental issue, thus becoming a piece of furniture sustainable, smart And technologically advanced: «The vertical development and the minimum overall dimensions allow the system to be placed in any environment. In kitchen for aromatic or garden plants and in stay for ornamental plants, solutions that solve secondary and sometimes poorly lit environments such as a corridor or an entrance are also very interesting. And even workplaces can benefit: in particular environments intended for waiting and interpersonal relationships such as meeting roomsThey explain art director of the project.

In addition, the vases are made of Green Molding Composite that is a material formed by natural flax fibers, bio-resin And bio-filler obtained from waste from food cropsfor this reason: «Unlike traditional materials, this system has a carbon footprint halved compared to other composite materials available on the market. Furthermore, the oxygen that plants produce by absorbing carbon dioxide during their cultivation cycle practically neutralizes CO2 emissions »concludes the project team regarding the sustainability of the device.

However, the market also offers other solutions: take a look at the smart pots for growing directly at home.
