Plants bring us a rich and comfortable life.
Please tell us how you started growing plants.
I have always admired houseplants, Even if you pick it up, it often dries up... There were plants I wanted to grow, but I couldn't get my hands on them. Three years ago, when I moved to the apartment where I currently live, I decided to try different varieties, I started learning about growing plants. Being surrounded by plants is soothing. I feel that plants bring us a rich and comfortable life.
Please tell us what you are aiming for, such as what you are careful about when growing plants, the layout, how to grow them, etc.
First, my lifestyle of living alone in a 1LDK We are careful not to accept more than the appropriate amount. When I go to my favorite store, I can't help but want it. I tried not to go there for a while (lol).
With the introduction of Amaterasu, we now have more time to prepare for pick-up. I would also like to increase it little by little as much as I can manage.
Next, we emphasize that it is part of the interior, so Care is taken to balance the height, color, and shape of the leaves. The concept of the room is American vintage, so We mainly selected antique wooden stands and monochrome pots, I try to create a sense of unity.
The most important thing is to create a comfortable environment for plants. Plants don't speak, so they don't know what they want, whether they're pleasant or unpleasant, etc. There are many things that cannot be understood just by looking at them. That's why you need to study.
By paying attention to these three things: water, sun, and wind, I'm starting to gain confidence in growing plants. ``When the soil dries out, it spreads its roots in search of water.'' "Learn where the plant originally grew." This teaching is very easy to understand for me, and it is a word that I always cherish.
There are ``variety swamps,'' ``pot swamps,'' and ``soil and fertilizer swamps'' for growing plants.
Have you ever felt like you failed when growing plants?
It is difficult to attach a board to a large fern. Even though I thought it was beautifully tailored, it didn't match the size of the stock. The roots may not spread properly or they may not be fixed in the desired position. If you hang it on the wall, it may end up facing downwards (or upwards), It's not going very well.
Also, when we receive seedlings from spore culture, There was also a time when I missed the timing of installing the board and ended up in a near-death situation.
In order to be good at repotting and dividing plants, not just Bikakushi fern, Match the type and amount of soil, sphagnum moss, and fertilizer to the variety. I feel that I need to be able to adjust, I haven't learned that much yet.
According to a senior colleague at work and a master of plant cultivation, There are various swamps for growing plants, It seems that after the variety swamp and the pot swamp, there is the soil and fertilizer swamp.
What are the important aspects of growing lights?
Take advantage of the advantage of being able to shine light into areas of the room that are hard to get sunlight. I thought that if I used a plant growing light, I could put plants anywhere in the room. I was excited to remodel my room.
In our house, we installed duct rails connected in an L shape on the ceiling. We made it possible to decorate the two sides that don't get much sunlight with ferns and other plants.
You will be amazed at how quickly plants grow in Amaterasu.
Please tell us the benefits of using BARREL's growing light.
When I tried using Amaterasu, I was surprised at how quickly the plants grew. Stable light can be applied from a stable direction for a long time, so The plants are happy. I mainly use it for ferns. I would like to use it in a way that allows the leaves to unfold more beautifully.
What do plants mean to you?
It's part of life. It is a daily pleasure, a source of comfort, and a source of stimulation. Plants enrich my life, I will continue to study and take care of you.
thank you very much.
