Interior Landscape

Landscape Interiors:- Seramis is well established in Europe as a leading planting medium for Interior Landscape Designers. Seramis can be used in mixed bed displays or large tree installations. It has a unique structure that stores 100% of its weight in water, this means watering intervals are longer and maintenance costs are lower. There is a strong capillary action with Seramis that will draw water to all parts of a container ensuring an even distribution with no flooding.

Seramis is frost resistant and can be used outside on balconies, terraces and roof gardens. Containers will require drainage holes to prevent water logging when raining.

SERAMIS IS RE-USABLE

When repotting, Seramis should be used in a ratio 1/3 root ball to 2/3 Seramis. ie a 10 ltr root ball will require 20 ltr of seramis in a 30 ltr container, this will need approx 8 ltr of water. which will give a watering interval 3 times longer than compost.

Plants with larger water requirements can be accomadated with more Seramis to hold extra moisture. We can advise on all types of plants, where best to locate them and when to water.

Here are a few examples.


Ficus benjamina, 1.9m high in a 65 ltr container with 55 ltr Seramis. Water 20 ltr		Palm Washintonia, 4 years in Seramis. Using 80 ltr of water in summer every 2 weeks		Dracaena Massangeana 2.1m 45 ltr pot with 30 ltr Seramis, requires 8 ltr of water in the summer		Podocarpus macrophyllus, 2.2m in 120 ltr container and 90 ltr Seramis. water capacity 40 ltr.

Watering for Seramis can be done in different ways.

For professional planting with set watering-intervals (once a month), the Seramis elctronic watering indicator should be used. If watering is only required when the root ball dries then the simple red/blue indicator is sufficient.

The electronic watering aid for Seramis reacts to the water level in the container, it has three sensors that correspond to a conventional water gauge.

1. lower measuring point; minimum (plants with a low water need)
2. medium measuring point: optimum (plants with a medium water need)
3. upper measuring point: maximum (plants with a high water need)

Select the required setting on the sensor and An accoustic and optical signal is given when the level is reached. Over the next few hours the water will be totaly absorbed without leaving any excess. the sensor is 40cm long and is suitable for containers to 45cm depth
