This article explores the simplicity and advantages of home hydroponic cultivation, emphasizing that choosing the right equipment, such as the Auma AM4 - S planter, is crucial. Hydroponic cultivation eliminates the limitations of traditional soil - based planting, addressing concerns about pests, soil quality, and space constraints. The Auma AM4 - S planter, featuring a compact, multi - layer design, efficiently utilizes vertical space, allowing for the cultivation of 80 plants in just 0.3 square meters. Its advanced planting mode integrates intelligent supplementary lighting and nutrient - solution control, simulating ideal factory - like growing conditions and ensuring stable plant growth regardless of external weather or seasons.

This article conducts an in - depth comparison between artificial plant walls and real plant walls from multiple dimensions. In terms of ecological functions, real plant walls can purify the air and regulate the climate through photosynthesis and transpiration, while artificial plant walls have no such functions. Regarding maintenance and management, real plant walls require meticulous care with high long - term costs, while artificial plant walls are almost maintenance - free. In terms of cost, real plant walls have high initial construction and long - term operation costs, while artificial plant walls can save more costs in the long run. In terms of aesthetic effects, real plant walls present natural life rhythms but with unstable shapes, while artificial plant walls have stable colors and shapes but are less realistic. 

This article explores the technological innovations and operational frameworks of container-based plant factories, which redefine modern agriculture through modular design and intelligent systems. As self-contained agricultural production units, containers are retrofitted with polyurethane-insulated panels and tempered glass for optimal environmental control. Key components include soilless cultivation systems (hydroponics, substrate culture, aeroponics), LED lighting with spectral adjustment capabilities, and automated nutrient solution management that recycles over 90% of water resources.

This article addresses the challenges novice plant owners face, highlighting the critical need for understanding dynamic equilibrium among growth factors like light, water, and soil. It identifies root rot as the primary cause of plant death, emphasizing the risks of low-quality potting soils and the advantages of specialized substrates like π Soil Biochar Mud Seedling Substrate, which offers optimal air-water balance (70:30) and sterilization.

This article explores the Pi Soil Flower Green Wall System, a revolutionary vertical greening solution that redefines the integration of architecture and ecology. Composed of 90% recycled agricultural waste (coconut fiber, humus soil, etc.), the system transforms urban walls into sustainable "eco-interfaces" through modular design and innovative technology.

Substrate cultivation, a pivotal soilless farming method, utilizes materials like coconut coir, rockwool, and peat moss as growth matrices, offering advantages such as soil-borne disease isolation, geographic flexibility, and labor efficiency. Common models include large trough, plastic trough, and bag cultivation, each suited to different crops and scales. Despite benefits, challenges persist, such as water-nutrient waste, substrate degradation, and lack of standardization in facilities and commercial substrates.

This article focuses on the Auma AM4 - S open - type home smart hydroponic planter. It delves into the cultivation techniques of common vegetables such as lettuce, pak - choi, spinach, and chili pepper. It first introduces the features of the planter, including its material, size, intelligent lighting system, and convenient control panel. Then, for each vegetable, it details the seed treatment, sowing methods, light and temperature requirements, as well as nutrient solution management during different growth stages. Through proper use of this planter and mastering relevant cultivation skills, people can create an indoor green vegetable garden, enjoying the fun of cultivation and a healthy life. It also points out the significance of the planter for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Smart agriculture represents a transformative shift in traditional farming, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and big data to create a highly efficient, data-driven agricultural ecosystem. This article explores the core definition and broad connotations of smart agriculture, emphasizing its integration of IoT-based precision production models with extended industrial applications, including e-commerce, food traceability, and agri-tourism.Auma’s IOT system serves as a technological cornerstone, featuring multi-protocol data collection (Modbus RTU/TCP), multi-network control architectures (WiFi/Ethernet), and secure cloud storage with encrypted, compressed data management. 

This article delves into the IoT - based miniature plant factory, with a focus on Auma's AJ01 Intelligent Automatic Plant Growing Cabinet. It begins by exploring the background of miniature plant factories, driven by urbanization and technological advancements. The AJ01 cabinet's features, including its structure and integrated functions such as lighting, temperature and humidity control, carbon dioxide supply, nutrient solution fertilization, and fresh air systems, are detailed. 

This article focuses on the emerging Planting Medium - π soil in the Landscape Greening field. It first analyzes the problems of Traditional Soil in Landscape Greening, such as pollution, poor water and fertilizer retention, and heavy texture, and then presents the new requirements of modern Landscape Greening for materials. π soil, developed through scientific formulation and special processing, consists of natural organic materials, minerals, microbial communities, and functional additives. It has unique applications in urban park and square greening, rooftop and vertical greening, and ecological restoration and slope greening.

This paper focuses on the new - type planting substrate, Pi Soil. It analyzes two major advantages of Pi Soil: water absorption rate and environmental performance. In terms of water absorption rate, Pi Soil, with a unique formula of agricultural and forestry wastes and polymer materials, has an astonishing water - retention capacity of 700%. This high rate reduces watering frequency, saves resources, and ensures uniform water supply for plant roots, promoting plant growth. Regarding environmental performance, Pi Soil excels in resource recycling by using about 90% of agricultural and forestry wastes, reducing waste pollution.

This article explores the prospects of indoor intelligent hydroponic planters. In urban areas with limited space, people's desire for nature and healthy food is growing, fueling the expansion of the home gardening market, in which indoor intelligent hydroponic planters are playing an increasingly significant role and are expected to experience explosive growth. Technological advancements, including the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, are enabling real - time monitoring, remote control, and intelligent adjustment of the planting environment. These planters are also evolving towards diversification and customization to meet various user needs. The AJ01 Intelligent Automatic Planting Cabinet, as a prime example, integrates multiple functions, has a large planting capacity, and offers convenient intelligent control. It is suitable for different users such as families, schools, and restaurants, contributing to a greener lifestyle and a more sustainable future.
