LECHUZA
the system for your success
CARARO – Dracaena marginata
LECHUZA FOREWORD
Corporate Green More and more businesses are choosing green as their corporate color – planted in CARARO, CUBICO, CLASSICO and QUADRO.
Dear Business Partner Where plants grow, so does motivation. More than that – in well-planted rooms the illness rate sinks and people suffer less stress. Some house plants can even filter pollutants that may emanate from floors, furniture and electrical appliances. This has been confirmed in a series of scientific studies and also by businesses which report the positive effects of adding plants to their buildings. And while motivation increases, costs on the other hand are reduced. Stress in the workplace alone accounts for approx. 20 million Euros every year in the EU, and in the USA the extra cost from stressed employees comes to some 600 Dollars per person. The positive effects of plants are indisputable – not only in the workplace, but also in public places like hospitals, towns and shopping malls. Intensive cultivation of plants increases the duration of the visit and willingness to shop. In contrast, in
clinics the figures show that the residence time of patients is reduced, and that the potentially achievable cost reductions could run into six figures. Surveys show that plants in the workplace are preferable to a technically perfect working environment. Lechuza (pronounced: “le-choo-zah”, Spanish for “owl”) can not only make this wish a reality, we can also make your business bloom by helping you tap into growing markets in a systematic way – together with the LECHUZA plant system and its optional sub-irrigation system. Yours sincerely, LECHUZA team

For indoors, for outdoors and for everyone who expects more from a planter. The green screen that not only partitions your room but also provides an elegant backdrop for an extraordinary appearance.
Wider is better: CARARO from LECHUZA combines the classic trough form with LECHUZA’s characteristic elegance. This makes it the perfect planter for everyone who would like to partition a room or set boundaries in an area without placing boundaries on their own creativity. Whether you want to create a meeting space, a break corner or a waiting area, CARARO provides a full range of products
to accommodate any plant size that in turn offer possibilities which have never before been available in such an elegant form. The patio is where CARARO truly shines, proving that it has much more to offer than a typical balcony box. That’s because, like all LECHUZA planters, it’s ideally suited for outdoors thanks to its overflow function and high-tech finish.

LECHUZA offers you outstanding plant growth in a systematic way.

All containers are coated with high-quality high gloss or metallic effect coatings and are shatterproof, UV, frost and weather resistant. All containers with overflow function can be used outdoors at any time, in any weather.
Another advantage of LECHUZA, which will further benefit your plants, is the new CUBICO plant liner with sturdy carrying handles that slip out of sight into the liner after use. So you can effortlessly change your plants in an instant. You don’t need to replant the entire CUBICO every time, just the CUBICO plant liner. So transport to and from the garden center is also much simpler.
Each plant in the CUBICO can be changed in an instant.

Never before have you been able to come out of your shell and blossom so elegantly. The striking appearance of the QUADRO gives you a different perspective. For wherever you want a touch of greenery, QUADRO also demonstrates a certain sense of confidence.
The LECHUZA QUADRO looks great everywhere – except hidden in a corner. It is far too lovely and uncompromising for that. The QUADRO is pleasing not only in a formal sense, but also in a functional sense, because its square offers tremendous plant volume in the smallest possible space. In size 21 the QUADRO is ideal as a table planter, in size 35 it is unbeatable as a small floor planter. Sizes 43 and 50 are suited to larger space requirements. And LECHUZA wheeled coasters make light work of moving your plants around.

LECHUZA SUB-IRRIGATION SYSTEM
True beauty comes from within. Your plants flourish naturally with the optional sub-irrigation set from LECHUZA.
Whether you’re away for a few days or simply can’t fit time-consuming plant care into your hectic everyday life: LECHUZA takes the weight off your shoulders. Because choosing the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system means your plants needs are met for up to 12 weeks depending on the container size, providing the amount of water and nutrients required for optimal growth.
Only LECHUZA looks as good in the house as in the garden. Ideal conditions with LECHUZA: By removing the integrated drain plug in the container base, the sub-irrigation system functions automatically in heavy rainfall outdoors. Your plant is always supplied with the right amount of water and nutrients that it without becoming waterlogged. Can any other plant system offer such perfection?
This is how LECHUZA works: Simply fill the water reservoir and your plants will “nurture themselves” for up to 12 weeks without the need for further watering.
For CARARO, CLASSICO and QUADRO simply place the LECHUZA sub-irrigation set directly in the corresponding planter and and then plant as usual in soil.
