Our strength is being able to connect with customers anytime, anywhere
For me, plants are They are like brothers who have always been next to each other since childhood.
I grew up in an environment with a lot of nature, and my grandmother was a flower arranging teacher. It has been something that has been very familiar to me for a long time. It was also the home of a tea ceremony master, so I was interested in tea utensils. It would be wonderful to combine plants with beautiful tea utensils. I've been thinking about this for a long time.
After that, I lived abroad, and I met him there. Fascinated by succulents, he began growing various plants after returning to Japan. Realizing what I had always envisioned after working as an office worker I became independent in order to
Currently, the main plants we handle are agave. Personally, I especially like Titanota, so there are various types of We have Titanota in stock. In the future, I would like to stock a wider variety of plants.
I want to convey the charm of plants to as many people as possible, We also focus on media management such as YouTube and blogs. Disseminate and share the knowledge you have acquired through your own experiences. This allows us to connect with our customers anytime, anywhere. I think this is our store's strength. Also, since we are a small shop, we can accommodate the needs of each customer. Being able to purchase items that suit our needs may also be a strength.
Customers who use our store range from those who are picking up agave for the first time. There are a wide range of people looking for their favorite stocks. We are putting a lot of effort into disseminating information, including information on how to grow plants, etc. I found out about our store after researching it on YouTube and blogs. Perhaps because there is so much to know, I have just started growing plants. There are many people who say.
Cultivation methods using growing lights have not yet been established.
Sales are mainly online, but reservations are required for in-store (office) sales. We also accept sales and tours. We are currently in the process of relocating, so I'm thinking of starting again when things calm down.
We are currently setting up an outdoor cultivation facility at our new office, so Make sure you can see both indoor and outdoor managed plants. I think.
We will also start displaying succulents in shops and salons in the future. So, we may meet you somewhere.
We are currently focusing on indoor management and cultivation using growing lights.
Recently, I've been focusing on BARREL's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. There are many excellent growing lights available. However, starting with agave A growing light that says ``If you do this, it'll be fine!'' for succulents. I don't think the cultivation method used has been established yet. (In any case, this is definitely not true for plant cultivation...)
After all, LEDs are different from sunlight, There are also differences between outdoor and indoor environments.
In the case of a cultivation light, the angle and distance of the light, as well as the Even small changes such as differences in specs can affect the plant. Affects growth.
In addition, check the size and condition of the plant, and ``Is this plant okay?'' But this plant got out of shape...” Therefore, adjustments are required for each strain and plant.
In this way, we can find the best way to guess each individual. We observe and verify it every day. The process is introduced on YouTube etc. I would appreciate it if you could take a look.
I want to establish an indoor cultivation method using a grow light.
I would like to introduce more people to the unique and beautiful agave plant. I want people to know the charm of succulents.
So, as mentioned above, we use a grow light and grow indoors. I would like to prove that I can manage and admire it.
If you think about Japan's housing situation, everyone has large gardens and balconies. Since this is not always possible, succulents with strong sunlight requirements The hurdles are getting higher. Also, depending on the local climate I think there are some people who find outdoor management difficult in the first place.
If you can find a way to grow indoors using grow lights, Making it easier for more people to get their hands on succulents I think it will happen.
Also, agave and codex have the impression that they are men's hobbies. I think there are still very few strong female fans.
We have established an indoor cultivation method using growing lights, and have grown it like a houseplant. I would like to be able to enjoy succulents as part of the interior.
And the combination of plants, pots, and LEDs creates a new I would like to suggest an interior space.
Strong light alone is stressful for plants.
The most important thing when growing plants is I think it's the balance of light, water, and wind. If only one thing is strong, it will somehow affect the plants.
When using a grow light, the light tends to be too strong.
Especially if you are growing succulents with strong sunlight requirements, Sometimes I think it's better to shine a strong psychological light on something.
However, unlike outdoors, using strong light indoors where there is no natural breeze Doing so increases the risk of leaf scorch.
Also, with agave, you need less water to make it into a ball. I think there are things you can do to grow your child by tightening them up. This also increases the risk of leaf burn.
Then, on the other hand, should I give more water? This time, there is a risk of root rot and overgrowth.
For that reason, I am still in the experimental stage, but only light is strong. We thought that this would be stressful for plants, so we decided to use a reflector. (for Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi) and turn on the light. Soften (weak) and “overall modesty” I try to manage it consciously.
This happened when I just started using Amaterasu. To kumanomi, who is supervising Amaterasu Tsukuyomi. I received some advice on how to apply light. This is what I started thinking about.
The advantage of grow lights is that they are not affected by climate change.
I thought that succulents should be exposed to strong light. It was a shocking thing for me, but about a year later, Over time, the plants managed by Amaterasu Tsukuyomi are It is growing well.
Naturally, the growth speed is the same for strains that grow outdoors in sunlight. Although it is slower than I can manage it without breaking it.
In this way, there is no absolute method of growing plants, What kind of plants do you use it for, and what kind of plants do you use? We believe it is important to make adjustments to suit the indoor environment.
Right now, I'm trying to grow the same strain with sunlight and a growing light. This is an experimental stage to see what kind of difference it will make. Considering what kind of difference will emerge this time I'm thinking of using it differently.
However, what I think at this stage is that it still grows naturally in the natural world. For plants that grow in the sun, they grow by being exposed to sunlight. I think it's the most natural thing to do. However, what I thought after going through Japan's summer and winter is, The advantage of using grow lights is that they are not affected by climate change.
Succulents do not like Japan's hot and humid summers and cold winters. Also, Japan has a rainy season and typhoons, so there are many threats outdoors.
Indoors, on the other hand, there is constant light, constant temperature, constant wind, etc. In a constant environment without being affected by nature, such as outdoors. can be managed.
I mentioned earlier that plants grow faster outdoors, but indoor plants grow faster. As it continues to grow throughout the year, it is better to keep it indoors. There are also cases where it is growing.
I will continue to observe, and what I find out will be posted on YouTube and blogs. I hope to be able to share it with you all.
I want to make plants more familiar to me.
When growing plants, regardless of type or plant size, the most important thing is I try to make sure that the light hits evenly.
Of course it depends on the situation, but basically it's a size 5 or above. For large plants, one 20W Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi light, about size 3 or 4. 1 light for 2 to 3 plants, Amaterasu 10W for child plants, It is used differently as follows. There's not enough light again Amaterasu 10W is used as fill light in some areas.
BARREL's lights are stronger than any manufacturer's lights. Good balance. It's only been about a year since I started using it, so I'm not sure about the quality of the plants. I'm at the stage of watching the growth, but I'm using the light at a lower setting. The light from other companies is too strong.
Currently, growth is slow, but there are no problems. I was able to meet BARREL's lights because I was raised there. I am very grateful for that.
In the future, more and more people will welcome plants as familiar objects. I think it's nice. We can help you with this through stores and media. I would be happy if I could.
We don't just sell plants, we sell them through plants. We are also thinking of ways to make things exciting and exciting. Thank you for your understanding.
