FORM COMPLEMENTS FUNCTION

kiwwl® is an eye-catching yet functional plant pot for both outdoor and indoor use. With its capacity of 280 litres, it is offering large potted plants plenty of rootspace. Thanks to the integrated resistance heating, it supports the safe outdoor overwintering of valuable exotic and Mediterranean plants.

The body consists of a double-walled glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) shell approx. 3 – 5 mm thick, with a UV and weather-resistant gelcoat surface and filled with rigid polyurethane foam. The sandwich structure offers extraordinarily high stability at a relatively low weight.

Due to its excellent insulating properties in combination with the smart heating control and integrated heat sensor, kiwwl® defies even the most extreme weather conditions while simultaneously offering low electricity consumption.

 

The drainage hole in the bottom can also be used for invisible cable routing, allowing an effective lighting of your plants.

GIVE WINTER
THE COLD SHOULDER

The integrated heating consists of a resistance wire and 2 thermal sensors which are laminated into the inner wall of the plant pot. Thus, there are no annoying cables or heating mats in the planting area.

The heating control is pre-set to +9 °C. If temperature at the thermal sensors drops below this level, the heating automatically switches on. As soon as the thermal sensors reach +10°C, the heating switches off again.

Due to the plant pot’s excellent insulation, the temperature in the root area constantly remains between +3 and +8 °C, even in extremely cold weather. Thanks to the precise heating regulation, the planter uses very little electricity. In field trials, consumption over the whole winter was just 4 – 10 kWh.

Please note: Other than in the images shown here, the stem and crown of the plant may require additional protection against frost.

kiwwl® HAS
INNER VALUES TOO

Good design speaks for itself. The kiwwl® planter also looks great inside buildings. In public areas, company reception zones, showrooms, trade fairs, hotel lobbies, in sophisticated private surroundings, and anywhere aesthetic greening helps to ensure a natural climate. For these purposes, kiwwl® is also available without heating and/or drainage hole.
