Boum 3 auf einem Balkon

Plants that grow faster than you can blink? That's exactly what our plant care system makes possible. The Boum System is a holistic approach and is completely coordinated, from plant selection to the right soil to smart irrigation. For a guaranteed green home, even for beginners and those without a green thumb! We'll reveal in detail the secrets behind our recipe for success.

Our success factors at a glance:

Only the best plants make it into the Boum range

Strict selection of suitable plants

We don't believe in mass-produced goods. We only offer plants that thrive in our system and won't wither away shortly after cultivation. Not every plant is suitable for our innovative system, so we take extra care to find the perfect plants for your home. Together with local nurseries, we select only robust, well-grown plants. We only want specimens that thrive in our pots and tubs. 

Intensive testing phase

Instead of adding the plants directly to our range, we thoroughly examine and test them. We spend several months observing how they perform in our system, determining whether the watering, substrate, and potting are suitable. If a plant continues to grow and thrive even after months, it harmonizes with our system. Only then do we add it to our range. This way, we can ensure that you will enjoy your blooming home for a long time.

The Boum app: monitoring and digital plant expert

Help with the selection: Which plants are suitable for my location?

All the insights and experiences from our extensive tests are incorporated into our app. It provides you with all the information you need. This starts with choosing plants: Which plants are ideal for my location? After all, it makes a big difference whether you want to green up a shady patio or a sunny balcony.

We're constantly expanding our product range , so it's worth checking out. If you'd like to use your own plants in the Boum system, that's no problem either. You may have to experiment a bit, but our Boum app already knows over 3,500 different plant species and can help you.

Smart control: The Boum app takes care of gardening

Once the plants are established, the Boum app really comes into play. It helps you create the best conditions for your plants at all times and, together with our irrigation system, takes almost all the work off your hands. The sensors transmit all important data to the app, which you can monitor at any time. Furthermore, it provides the most important information – exactly when you need it:

  • Watering reminder : Is the water tank empty? No problem, the app will let you know in time.
  • Fertilization made easy : The app notifies you when a plant needs nutrients.
  • Weather warnings : Is frost imminent? The app warns you.

The Boum app practically does the work for you, taking care of your plants. You only need to refill the water or fertilize occasionally, and otherwise enjoy your green and blooming home.

The Boum system: An interplay of plants, irrigation and solar energy

Avoid frustration at the garden center

Anyone who has ever cared for plants in pots or tubs knows the problem: You wander around the garden center, disoriented, trying to figure out which pots and which soil are suitable for your chosen plant. How big should the pot be? What kind of soil does a lemon tree actually need? Finally, annoyed, you pick up something that somewhat harmonizes with the style of your home – hoping that the plant will actually feel comfortable in its location.

Unfortunately, not every combination of soil, pot, plant, and watering works equally well. Often, people spend a long time experimenting. This can be incredibly frustrating—especially when plants die. Once you've experienced this a few times, chances are you'll abandon your balcony garden or green terrace altogether.

The Boum plant pots have a sophisticated watering system

Boum offers a perfectly coordinated system

This is where Boum comes in: Each of the system's components is well thought out and perfectly coordinated. From the plant pot to the water reservoir, all elements work together to ensure your plants grow and thrive optimally. The system isn't just set up once and stubbornly pumps the same amount of water into the pots; it reacts to the current situation. Sensors detect the condition of the soil—dry due to blazing sun or well-nourished due to persistent rain—and pumps only the water needed into the pots. A nice side effect for you: All you have to do is refill the tank every now and then. This makes the system ideal for beginners with no prior knowledge.
