Rokkubōru: Innovative Cultivation System
Description
Rokkubōru, which means “rock pearl” in Japanese, is a revolutionary cultivation system that features key elements such as cement and draining substrates.
This innovative technique is based on growing in an aggregate mixture designed to promote optimal plant growth.
Main Features
- Materials: Cement, river sand, volcanic lapilli, glass fibers and draining substrates
- Advantages:
- Preservation and controlled release of moisture into the soil
- Efficient and sustainable cultivation environment
- More effective plant growth than traditional methods
- Irrigation Methods:
- Controlled immersion: Immerse the Rokkubōru in demineralized water for 1 minute, drip off the excess, and place back on the saucer.
- Nebulization: Generously spray demineralized water on substrate and concrete pot.
- Exposure:
- Lighting: Bright light, avoiding direct sun.
- Aeration: Place in an airy room, away from direct drafts.
- Temperatures: Mild temperatures between 18°C and 26°C.
Advantages of the Rokkubōru System
- Optimal moisture control: Cement regulates water release, ensuring an ideal moisture level for plants.
- Healthy root development: Draining substrates promote good root oxygenation and prevent water stagnation and root asphyxia.
- Disease reduction: Rokkubōru’s controlled environment minimizes the risk of fungal and bacterial diseases.
- Lower maintenance: The system requires watering less frequently than traditional methods.
- Elegant Aesthetics: The modern design of the Rokkubōru makes it an exquisite piece of furniture.
