Maximum organic phalaenopsis
Every day our cultivation experts work to keep the ecological system in our greenhouses in good balance. Jan van Bleijswijk, our cultivation man, explains how:
'Our Phalaenopsis plants grow and bloom without the use of chemicals, but with the use of natural enemies.' To achieve this, we have strict hygiene rules for our employees and visitors. In addition, we check every day which and how many creatures are in our greenhouses. Counting, checking and registering. It's a real pain in the ass, but it does lead to us delivering maximum organic plants.'
Sustainability is central to us. The greenhouses are therefore continuously optimized to innovate and save on water and energy use and at the same time to take even better care of the plants. Our goal is always that the plants are in top form and good condition, so that our customers can have success with them.
We have installed a beautiful new energy-efficient greenhouse at our newest location. This location is equipped with DryGair units that ensure a uniform climate throughout the greenhouse and extra dehumidification and internal ventilation for energy savings. Circulation takes place at all heights (including in the middle of the crop) and this large air capacity ensures that closed cultivation can be practiced here.
Our growing pots are also made from recycled material. The pots for the green plants are made from 95-99% recycled material from consumer waste. This is called PCR material, post-consumer recyclate. The pots do not contain carbon black pigment, and are therefore traceable in the recycling process after use.
Our orchid pots are made with 95-99% recycled business waste. This is called PIR material, post-industrial recyclate.
