More and more Poles living in blocks of flats or tenements decide to start a home garden in the living room or on the balcony.

The cultivation process is simple and consists of three steps: placing the seeds in the holes, filling the tank with water and supplements and adjusting the height of the lamp.

How does the smart pot work?
Electric pot works on the principle of hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without using soil, where plant roots are immersed in aqueous media containing solutions of mineral salts. In practice, this means that plants are placed in plastic pots with perforated bottoms, allowing the roots to access water and nutrients.
The main advantage of this type of culture is the need for a small amount of space for proper plant growth. Another important factor seems to be the elimination of soil, where allergens can be transferred, and its use in the home is sometimes problematic due to dirt. With a smart pot, it's also easier to control the necessary amount of water and the roots.
Health benefits
Starting a small garden in an apartment or on a balcony can carry health-promoting benefits. After all, plants have a very positive positive influence on our well-being and health. Being closer to nature promotes stress reduction and improved concentration, which is especially important with busy lifestyles. Plants also improve air quality by increasing humidity and reducing carbon dioxide levels. In addition, growing your own herbs and vegetables allows you to enrich your diet with new flavors.
