Use
A green wall is watered automatically. The control unit with temperature, soil humidity and sun exposure sensors makes sure perfect conditions are maintained for the proper growth of plants. Thanks to advanced automatics and proper software, water consumption, maintenance appointments and care procedures are limited to minimum. As part of supervision, we offer professional maintenance by our gardeners who trim the plants several times a year and do a check-up of the watering system.
