Homegrown Hydroponics releases their long waited orchid growing machine version 2. Now this beautiful flower can be grown in a turnkey automated system all year round, and can be raised in 1/2 the time.
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2006 -- Homegrown Hydroponics releases their long waited orchid growing machine version 2. Now this beautiful flower can be grown in a turnkey automated system all year round, and can be raised in 1/2 the time.
Technology has finally caught up with one of the world's most beautiful and delicate flowers, the orchid. In bloom these magnificent flowers show off nature's powers at its finest. These colorful specimens can be found growing on every continent of the world, thanks to modern day green thumbs, who treasure the orchid above any other flower. The range of species of orchid is diverse, just like the people that grow them. But most people would agree they are fantastic works of art no matter what color or shape. The flower has no prejudice, and is appreciated for it's delicate form no matter where it grows.
For at least the last one hundred years, farmers, professionals, and hobbyists have been drawn to the orchids rare beauty. A primordial urge to raise these flowers stirs inside a chosen few. The orchid is a delicate creation that needs love, caring, and overall most importantly, exactly the right conditions to grow. To hot and you have a wilting flower. Too cold it shrivels and dies. Too much light and the plant gets sick. To little, and the growth is stunted. It's not easy to raise a rare orchid in nature. Conditionals could not be controlled 100% (not even in greenhouses), and huge crops suffered.
That's where Homegrown Hydroponics of Ft. Lauderdale Florida steps in. They have introduced the most powerful, state of the art orchid cultivation device ever. Called simply the "Orchid Cultivator" this sleek looking machine packs new hydroponic growing technology into a small grow box, only recently developed in the last couple of years. This technology is ultrasonic aeroponic foggers, and they are now at an affordable level for mainstream hobbyists. But more on this later. The Orchid Cultivator machine is capable of producing any environment the grower wishes, with the turning of some knobs, and the adjusting of timers. Now more heat spells, droughts, or pre-mature winter cold.
Now it can be spring all year round. The humidity can be just right. Same with the temperature. Your orchids can thrive. It never gets too cold, or too hot. The sun can stay up for a few hours longer in the evening, providing additional growing time for the delicate orchid. You see, nature's wonder is now simulated with a myriad of bulbs, fans and technologically gadgetry all working in unison that takes over where nature left off. Dare we say even improved upon it? Or at least, gives the orchid exactly what is needs to flourish.
So you ask, what exactly is an ultrasonic fogging? This ground breaking technology was pioneered by an experimental few greenhouses, a select few with a vision of a different way to grow plants. A better way. This technology uses a device that vibrates up to 2 million times a second. It is placed in the orchid's hydroponic reservoir along with the roots. It floats at the surface of the hydroponic solution, and emits a fine fog. The fog consists of millions of microscopic water molecules that are only 3-5 microns in size. At this small size, a nutrient droplet can pass directly into the orchids root system, without the need to be absorbed. The root mass is continuously surrounded by a layer of nutrient fog, which delivers vitamins and minerals to the growing plants in a way that no one has done before.
In just a few weeks, hundreds of thousands of tiny little hairs develop across the orchid's root structure, looking for, seeking nutrients, where they are effortlessly absorbed. The result? A magnificent bloom of reds, orange, yellow and white in record time. Orchids can grow up to ten times faster in hydroponics than in soil. The conditions can be set according to specie and genre of flower. No need to get your hands dirty digging up soil. Hydroponics is clean and precise.
For advanced gardeners, Co2 can be introduced into the environment as well , which will further supplement the natural amount already found in the air. By increasing levels of co2, green plants can utilize built up energy they have stored internally, but can not use because of lack of light. In an orchid growing machine for instance, there is enough light, and nutrients, to fully utilize the extra co2 pumped into the environment, to sky rocket plant growth.
Put simply, it's never been easier to grow your own orchids, all year round than it is today, with giant leaps forward in orchid growing technology, thanks to industry leaders like Homegrown Hydroponics. For further information log-on to http://www.orchidcultivator.com, or call (954) 385-8931.
