Connecting the Irrigation

  1. When choosing a final location for the Green Divider, it is important to take into consideration the following factors
    • Lighting. Since the Green Divider incorporates direct grow lighting, plants are able to survive even in the absence of additional light. The grow lights built in to the Green Divider frame emit a full spectrum light that provides about 300 Foot Candles at the foliar level. This light should be more than enough to ensure the long-term health and growth of the plants inside the Green Divider.

      If the Green Divider is placed in a location far away from the window, you shouldn't need to adjust the irrigation settings throughout the year unless it is close to a heat or AC source. However, if the Green Divider is receiving significant natural light, note that its water needs will change throughout the year as the sun's intensity fluctuates throughout the seasons.

      Plant foliage has a tendency to turn towards the light. If there is no external lighting, certain plants will reach towards the light bars, which will leave burn marks on the leaves if they are touching for extended periods. To deal with this issue, you can either prune off the affected leaves or try staking them our of the way.
    • Leveling. Using a level, make sure the four boxes in the Green Divider are level. If they are not, make necessary adjustments to the furniture feet or casters. If the boxes are not level, water can pool on one side of the boxes which drains the water away from plants on the opposite side. Over time this can lead to potential draught.
