PICO: A garden in your palm. Growing is fun again!

Plants have been proven to improve motivation and concentration, increase energy levels and decrease fatigue. And thanks to the transpiration and evaporation of water from plants, they increase the air quality and improve eye strain and skin health, and reduce the spread of airborne diseases. Plants give a soothing feeling to people around and thus everyone wants to grow plants indoors and outdoors. But plant parenting is not that easy, there are a lot of problems in having a plant around like

1. Insufficient sunlight
2. Watering right is hard
3. Plants always need special attention
4. Sometimes we have limited space
5. Normal plant pots look dull

These problems are there for a long time but will be no more. Presenting Pico, a little nature-loving companion, ready to take care of your precious plants. Whether you’ve never grown something before, or have a houseful of plants, Pico will help you get everything right.

With Pico, you need not do any more guess-work in plant parenting! 

You need not worry about underwatering or overwatering your plants. You need not worry about plants not getting enough sunlight or being too exposed. Be it edibles, succulents or ornamentals, Pico knows what your plants need. Pico is a mom for your plant.

Let us look into Picos’ features and know more about it

Features

Multi-spectrum LED grow lights

Growing plants at home can be tough because they require lots of direct sunlight to thrive. Unfortunately, you can’t carry sunlight around to make sure your plants get the energy they deserve.

Pico’s multi-spectrum LED grow lights give your plant enough light solving the sunlight problem. These LEDs are a miniature of grow lights used in indoor farming.

Powered by high-performance power-efficient LEDs from OSRAM, Pico provides all the necessary wavelengths of light to replace the sun completely, and allow you to grow plants all year round.

These powerful LEDs are chosen to support a wide range of plants and each color wavelength stimulates a specific biological function in plants.

Automated Watering System

 Pico makes watering your plants seamless.

Regardless of how busy you are, Pico’s watering system makes sure your plants have as much water as they need—no more, no less—to sustain their health and beauty. All you need to do is pour water in once a week.

 Watering too little can kill your plants, but so can too much. Getting it right takes time and experience. Not many of us have it. 

With Pico, that’s all taken care of for you!

Like the roots of your plants pulling water through the soil towards them, through capillary action, Pico wicks the water from the reservoir into the soil. As your plants soak up the water, Pico just feeds them more. This ensures that they never dry out or are left to rot in too much water.

So, this solves your plant watering problem

Beautiful Look

FInding a beautiful pot to decorate your home is difficult, do you agree? Pico is pretty beautiful and is built with high quality material. As you can see in the images, plants look really good in Pico.

Different Types of Mounts

Plant pots take up space. They often can only be placed on flat surfaces by windows, which limits your options.

With Pico, any place is a good place to grow some plants. Work desk? Check. Fridge? Check. Wall? Check. Glass window, bathroom or even in a vehicle? Check, Check, Check.

Pico comes with three mounts

All 3 interchangeable mounts are included with your Pico.

Why several mounts? Because when it comes to plants, you can’t have too many and you might want them everywhere.

This feature solves your space problem as well. So, all the five problems mentioned above are solved, right?

An additional feature in Pico is that with its USB Type-C ports on both sides, you can chain multiple Picos together and build yourself an indoor jungle! Just connect cables to either side, and each Pico will accept and pass-through power to the next one.

How Does Pico Work?

Pico stores water and provides it to plants on demand, through a capillary wick. 

The transparent window lets you know when it’s time to top up, typically once a week. Employing just capillary action and gravity, this design does not require any power supply or involve a motor or pumps. Pico needs very little energy that too for the lights only.

Your plants will also grow quicker and healthier due to root oxygenation from below, provided by small slits in the soil vessel.
