Summary
Terapia Urbana´s semi-hydroponic Fytotextile® system is an evolution of the hydroponic system that combines a series of selected textile layers forming pockets that allow a better aeration of the plants´roots, which fosters their growth in a short period of time and enables a greater fixation of V.O.C.
Advantages and Innovations
Because of its semi-hydroponic condition, the system has an improved thermal inertia in the face of the oscillations in the humidity and temperature levels that the living wall might experience.
The system integrates in a versatile way both indoors and outdoors, performing from the start in a wide range of spaces, such as hotels, offices, top end residential, exhibition spaces, shops or restaurants.
The system, composed of connectable modules formed by an overlapping of textile layers, is very thin (2-3 cm) and totally customizable what dimensions regards. Its modularity, lightness (25-35 kg) and flexibility allow it to adapt to any kind of surfaces, including curved ones.
The modules are totally waterproofed at the back and have flaps encompassing the irrigation components, which allows an easy access to these elements and hugely simplifies both the installation and maintenance of the systems.
Description
The invention relates to a system for cultivating plants in vertical or inclined planes, especially designed for achieving an optimum development of the plants immediately after the transplanting thereof, said system basically comprising a plurality of modules, each one comprising an outer layer for absorbing the water of the substrate where the root structure is located, and facilitating the passage of air therethrough such that the gaseous exchange is generated between said root structure and the outside environment so that the catabolic process is generated therein. Each module also comprises an inner layer of a material able to absorb and distribute liquid and nutrients to said root structure, and a third optionally waterproofing rear layer.
