Our secret: Why Boum plants grow so well

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 designed holistically and perfectly coordinated, from plant selection to the right soil and smart irrigation. For a successful green home, even for beginners and people without a green thumb! We'll tell you in detail what's behind our recipe for success.

Our success factors at a glance:

Only the best plants make it into the Boum assortment

Strict selection of suitable plants

We don't believe in mass-produced goods. We only offer plants that thrive in our system and don't wither shortly after planting. Not every plant is suitable for our innovative system, which is why we proceed with particular care to find the perfect plants for your home. Together with local nurseries, we select only robust, beautifully grown plants. We only want specimens that feel comfortable in our pots and containers.

Intensive testing phase

Instead of directly incorporating plants into our assortment, they are thoroughly examined and tested. For several months, we observe how they behave in our system, whether irrigation, substrate, and pots fit. If a plant grows and thrives even after months, it harmonizes with our system. Only then do we add it to our assortment. This way, we ensure that you will enjoy your flourishing home for a long time.

Boum plants are extensively tested

The Boum App: Monitoring and digital plant expert

Help with selection: Which plants suit my location?

All the findings and experiences from our extensive tests are integrated into our app. It provides you with all the information you need, starting with plant selection: Which plants are ideal for my location? After all, it makes a big difference whether you want to green a shady terrace or a sunny balcony. Our Boum app already knows over 3,500 different plant species and helps you.

Smart Control: The Boum app takes over gardening

Once the plants have moved in, the Boum app really comes into its own. It helps you to 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 send all important data to the app, which you can monitor at any time. In addition, it provides you with the most important information – exactly when you need it:

  • Irrigation reminder: Is the water tank empty? No problem, the app will notify you in good time.
  • Fertilizing made easy: The app notifies you when a plant needs nutrients.
  • Weather warnings: Is frost threatening? The app warns you beforehand.

The Boum app practically does the work for you and takes care of your plants. All you have to do is occasionally refill the water or fertilize, and otherwise enjoy your green and flourishing 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 containers knows the problem: you wander aimlessly through the garden center, trying to figure out which pots and which soil are suitable for the chosen plant. How big should the planter be? What kind of soil does a lemon tree actually need? Annoyed, you eventually pick something that somewhat matches your home's style – hoping that the plant will feel comfortable in its location at all.

Unfortunately, not every combination of soil, pot, plant, and irrigation works equally well. Often, there's a lot of trial and error. This can be incredibly frustrating – especially when plants die. If you've experienced this a few times, there's a high chance that the balcony garden or green terrace will be completely given up.

The Boum plant pots have a sophisticated irrigation system

Boum offers a perfectly coordinated system

This is where Boum comes in: the system's components are each well thought out individually and also perfectly coordinated. From the plant pot to the water reservoir, all elements work together to ensure your plants grow and thrive optimally. The system is not just set 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 scorching sun or well supplied due to continuous rain – and only pump the necessary water into the pots. The nice side effect for you: You don't have to do anything more than occasionally refill the tank. This makes the system ideal for newcomers without prior knowledge.
