You can grow plants. We promise you can. But how? You might be wondering. Well, it's quite simple. Let's start with the...
Boum water tank
The tank holds almost up to 35 liters of water. But the real magic lies in the solar-powered control unit. It serves as the tank lid and is the brains of the system. It waters your plants with a built-in pump every day for up to 20 days* without refilling. So you don't have to worry about your plants while you're on vacation - Boum takes care of them. And thanks to the Wi-Fi connection, you can keep an eye on your plants from anywhere. Sensors measure water consumption and balcony climate and send notifications in the Boum app to keep you and your plants happy throughout the year.
Boum planters
Boum's designer planters, available as pots and window boxes, have a unique feature: capillary wicks that draw water from the pot's built-in reservoir, ensuring optimum soil moisture. With the Boum planters you can grow trees, vegetables, herbs, flowers and shrubs - with beautiful results that surpass anything you can achieve with conventional pots! The pots are connected to the water tank via an inconspicuous, easy-to-install hose and are thus supplied with water completely autonomously for several weeks. The Boum pots are made from an 80% recycled mineral-plastic mix with a hand finish, are decorative, shock and break-proof, easy to move, UV and frost resistant.
Boum app
The Boum app provides you with all the important information about the system and your plants. You can use it to control the system from anywhere. The Boum app includes notifications for topping up water and fertilizing, frost and storm warnings, data on the balcony climate and much more. In addition, the app has a library of over 3500 plants, chat support, video tutorials - everything is included. We develop the Boum app ourselves and regularly deliver new features to help you grow and enjoy your plants even better.

Amazing results
Our customers agree: together with the optimised soil and the adapted plants, the Boum system delivers unique results.
Boum or drip irrigation
Why is the Boum system better than conventional drip irrigation?
Quite simple.
The control system measures the water level in the water tank and pumps water into our containers. From there, the water is drawn up into the soil using wicks. The soil moisture regulates itself according to the plant's water requirements and forms an optimum moisture gradient for good rooting. Completely self-regulating. Even without electricity and water connection.
