The origins of CultiMate®
This system, born from the creative mind of Lawrence Brooke more than thirty years ago in California, has completely changed the way we think about hydroponics at home. With its simple yet effective operation, CultiMate® has helped hundreds of thousands of plants around the world grow healthy, happy and often enormous. Read on as we describe CultiMate® from its inception to its current status as the original home hydroponic system that is often copied but never matched. More than three decades ago, Lawrence Brooke, the founder of GH USA, saw an opportunity to revolutionize the way we grow plants indoors. Thus was born CultiMate®, a system designed to make gardening accessible to everyone, regardless of the size of their living space. From its launch, CultiMate® stood out for its ease of use and performance, quickly becoming a favorite among home gardeners.
The evolution of CultiMate® from S to Solar
CultiMate® has seen several iterations over the years, from the compact CultiMate® S model, perfect for smaller spaces, to the larger CultiMate® L and the innovative CultiMate® Solar. Each model is designed with the same philosophy in mind: to create a system that is both performant and user-friendly. The ability to grow decorative and culinary plants of all sizes, from basil and other herbs to small trees, speaks to the versatility of CultiMate®.
How does CultiMate® work?
The magic of CultiMate® lies in its simplicity. Both systems use air to pull up a nutrient solution from the reservoir, which then trickles down through the clay granular substrate and into the roots. This design provides a perfectly oxygenated nutrient solution directly to the plants, essential for optimal growth and flowering. CultiMate®'s two-part construction also allows easy access to the reservoir and roots, a feature that is difficult or impossible in many systems. The latest version of CultiMate®, version 3, has several improvements in component design. It is roto-molded in France from super-strong and durable recycled plastic, offers UV and light protection for the roots, and is versatile, adaptable and expandable. The system is not only environmentally friendly, but also energy efficient, consuming less than 2 watts.
A lifetime warranty
Unique to CultiMate® is the lifetime warranty on the molded plastic systems made in France by Terra Aquatica. This warranty underscores the commitment to quality and durability, although it does not apply to additional components and motors. CultiMate® is at the forefront of the green revolution in home gardening. With the perfect balance of performance and ease of use, it offers a solution for anyone who wants to grow their own food or beautify their home with living greenery. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient and sustainable way to grow plants at home, CultiMate® is the system for you. CultiMate®'s journey from a visionary idea to a globally recognized brand is an inspiration to us all, and the story is far from over.
