Can you believe that a small and delicate cabinet can grow fresh vegetables? This is the intelligent crystallization of modern agriculture - the mini plant factory. The mini plant factory is a highly integrated planting device that combines a variety of advanced technologies, including temperature and humidity control, carbon dioxide management, light adjustment, sterilization systems, fertilization regulation, water circulation systems, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. But how exactly does it enable plants to grow inside?


Mini Plant Factory
Ventilation System

I. Complete Cultivation System

The mini plant factory is equipped with a comprehensive cultivation system. It has multi - layer vertical planting racks, on which planting pots are installed. These pots are used to fix plants and hold nutrient solutions, making full use of the space. There is also an automated irrigation and water circulation system to ensure the uniform supply and recycling of nutrient solutions. You can place plant or vegetable seedlings into the planting pots and then put them into the planter. Once the plants are in the planter, you don't need to spend much time taking care of them. The planter will perform its green magic.

II. Light Adjustment System

A. LED Lighting

Each plant planter is equipped with LED lights to provide illumination. Red light is beneficial for plant flowering and fruiting, while blue light plays a crucial role in the growth of plant stems and leaves. During the seedling stage, plants require relatively weak light. As the plants grow, the light intensity can be gradually increased, and the light quality ratio can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that plants receive optimal lighting conditions.

B. Photoperiod Control

Just as plants are affected by day - night alternation in the natural environment, the mini plant factory simulates the natural light cycle by controlling the on - off time of LED lights. Different plants have different requirements for the photoperiod at different growth stages. For example, some short - day plants need a shorter lighting time during the flower bud differentiation period, while long - day plants need the opposite. By accurately controlling the photoperiod, the growth and development process of plants can be regulated, promoting plant growth, flowering, and fruiting.

III. Temperature and Humidity Control System

A. Temperature Regulation

The growth of plants requires a suitable temperature environment. Temperature has a significant impact on plant physiological activities, including photosynthesis and respiration. Temperature control equipment, usually composed of air conditioners, heating devices, or refrigeration equipment, is used to maintain a relatively stable temperature inside the plant factory. Different plants have different suitable growth temperatures. Through precise temperature control, the best growth conditions can be created for plants.

B. Humidity Control

Humidity is also essential for plant growth and development. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers are installed in the plant factory to adjust the air humidity. During the seedling stage, a higher air humidity helps maintain the water balance of seedlings and prevent dehydration. During the flowering and fruiting stage of plants, a relatively lower humidity is beneficial for improving the quality of fruits and preventing the breeding of pests and diseases. Generally, the suitable air humidity for most plants is between 60% - 80%. The humidity can be stabilized within this range through the humidity control system.

IV. Nutrient Supply System

The plant factory adopts soilless cultivation technology, providing plants with various nutrients required for growth through nutrient solutions. The nutrient solution contains macro - elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, as well as micro - elements such as boron, zinc, and manganese. According to the types and growth stages of different plants, the composition and concentration of the nutrient solution are accurately formulated. Soilless cultivation can precisely control the nutrient supply for plant growth, avoiding potential pests, diseases, and nutrient imbalance problems in the soil.

V. Ventilation System

Good ventilation can provide sufficient carbon dioxide for plants, while discharging the carbon dioxide and other harmful gases produced by plant respiration. It can also regulate the indoor temperature and humidity. The ventilation system can also promote the air flow around the plants, enhance the stress resistance of plants, and make the plant stems stronger.

VI. Internet of Things (IoT) and Automation

The plant factory can precisely control various environmental factors for crop growth. Through the Internet of Things, unmanned and automated planting can be achieved, improving the convenience of planting. The cultivation process becomes more intelligent, as if each plant is equipped with a dedicated "nutritionist" and "housekeeper", allowing plants to grow well in the planter. The mini plant factory is truly the green magic empowered by technology, bringing a new solution to modern agriculture.
