  • The cover of the Groasis Growboxx plantcocoon® collects rain through the siphon;
  • You can plant two plants (or even more!) in one Groasis Growboxx plantcocoon®;

Here you see 2 “Prosopis Cineraria” in one Waterboxx plantcocoon®. They were both planted with equal height on June 14 – 2015 in Dubai. The photo is from 6 weeks after planting, August 3 – 2015. You see that the plant left in the Growsafe is already higher than 50 cm. The plant right is around 20 cm. The Growsafe causes over 50% faster growth.

Capacities

Reforestation without using irrigation and with over 90% survival rate has never been so cheap. When you look at the transport costs, they are extreme low. In a 40Ft High Cube container will fit 10,500 Growboxx plantcocoons®. Also the Growsafe Telescoprotexx - effective for over 50% faster growth and protects your tree against all grazing animals - can be transported very cheap.

Some other characteristics of the Groasis Growboxx plantcocoon®:

  • Despite efficient size, one liter more water content than the polypropylene Groasis Waterboxx plantcocoon®;
  • No wick – water transport from the box to the tree, through the bottom. 
  • The bottom of the Growboxx plantcocoon® functions as a capillary;
  • The cover is fixed - it cannot be blown away; safe along roads and airports;
