#OWNER's VOICE File06

I HAVE A GREEN THUMB. I can confidently say that I want to be like that.

The most important thing is to create a comfortable space for plants.




How did you start growing plants?


My husband received a killifish from an acquaintance and posted it on Instagram. That's what got me started. I originally loved houseplants and grew them. Biotope and bottle aquarium for breeding medaka Since I started, my love for plants has grown even more.

The biotope in a water lily pot is stable even without water changes, but The sunlight shines through the aquatic plants bottle in the living room. It will quickly become covered in moss. Moss tends to accumulate on the bottle Is the living room of the environment actually suitable for growing houseplants? I thought there was no such thing, but suddenly I started adding more and more houseplants, and here I am now.


What do you particularly like about starting to grow houseplants?


My husband is also interested in plants, and he is responsible for the outside of the house. My husband and I were able to have the same hobbies as the person in charge of the house. That was a good thing. Also, by starting Instagram I'm also happy that I was able to connect with plant lovers from all over the world.


Please let us know if there is anything you should be careful about when growing plants.


A comfortable place for plants and yourself" I pay attention to the balance of the layout. It is best to place it in a bright place through the curtains. It's good, but the place you want to put it in is not suitable for plants. Sometimes it's not good.

So we will place shade-tolerant plants," Plants don't get enough light more than people realize. In such cases, use a plant growth light to supplement the light. Also, that place becomes a wonderful space when there is light, The interior should stand out.


Have you ever felt like you failed when growing plants?


The place I thought was bright turned out to be surprisingly lacking in light for plants. I gradually lost my energy. If you feel like you're not feeling well, add some light Add supplementary light or move to a brighter location.

For example, at my house, there is a Hanging corners, walls between windows, and corners of rooms are This is a place where there is not enough light for plants. This was resolved by turning on the grow light during the day.


What is the most important point in growing plants?


It's about creating a comfortable space for plants. I pay attention to room temperature, humidity, light, and wind.

If you have an animal, turn on the air conditioner and keep your pet safe. You are taking care not to lose your health. It's the same. Plants are also living things I think it is important to prepare the environment.

A ceiling fan is installed to ensure that the air in the room moves smoothly. The circulator on the floor is left on 24 hours a day. I also have an LED plant growing light on from morning until I go to bed. Therefore, even on a dark rainy day, the living room is bright.


Growing plants is like raising children.

Are there any good points (advantages) or precautions (disadvantages) when using BARREL's growing light?


The clean design goes well with any interior, It provides indirect lighting and improves the atmosphere of the room. Although it is the perfect light for growing plants, it is also a light that people feel comfortable with.

However, it is a little expensive, so I think it would be difficult for beginners to grow plants to try it. However, beginners should try Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. I want you to actually get your hands on it and feel the effects like I did.


Please give a message to those who are new to plant cultivation and aquaculture.


You have a green thumb." (You have a green thumb) and from our overseas followers There is something to be said.

What do you mean I don't have a green thumb?" I thought it was strange, but when I looked into it, ``I have a talent for growing plants.'' That's the best compliment for a plant lover.

Even so, there are still many cases where plants die. The withered plant says, ``Thank you for letting me enjoy it.'' and place it under a tree in the garden. Some plants can revive themselves, Some plants just don't come back. You may have to give up if it doesn't suit your home environment.

There are many people around the world who enjoy houseplants. welcome. Everyone is really enthusiastic and wonderful.

I have a green thumb.

I would like to be able to say this confidently someday.

What do plants mean to you?


A space with plants is a place of healing and rejuvenation, Sometimes it's a symbiotic relationship where you feel like you're giving them energy.

Plants do not move from their place and grow vines on their own. It is strong and sturdy as it stretches and grows upwards.

It's no good being overprotective or neglectful. Prepare the basic environment, observe it, and take care of it when necessary. I think it's like raising a child.


thank you very much.
