Product catalog summary

Company Overview and Philosophy

Hobby Flower specializes in self-watering hydroplanters featuring a patented system developed with the University of Biology of Barcelona since 1974. The company emphasizes ecological sustainability, quality craftsmanship, and design excellence, manufacturing all products in Spain with handcrafted processes to ensure durability and premium finishes.

Designers and Collaborations

The brand collaborates with prominent designers such as Emiliana Design Studio, Josep Lluscà, Meritxell Vidal, Sanna Völker, and Jordi Vilardell. These partnerships bring diverse expertise in industrial, interior, and architectural design, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality across collections.

Materials and Construction

Key materials include ferritic lacquered stainless steel, natural and stained wood veneers (oak, ash), stoneware, anodized aluminum, and rotomolded polyethylene. Construction features water level indicators, aeration openings, moisture-conducting wicks, drainage layers, and mobility wheels. Materials are treated for outdoor durability, especially in urban environments.

Patented Self-Watering System

The core innovation is a patented self-watering system certified by the University of Biology of Barcelona. It uses capillary action via wicks to transfer water from a reservoir to the soil, enabling users to fill the water tank only four times annually with superficial watering every 4-5 weeks. This system reduces maintenance and saves up to 80% water.

Planting Instructions

Apply a 2 cm drainage layer over the wicks.
Add suitable soil, leaving holes for plants.
Gently loosen plant roots before planting.
Water slowly after planting to saturate soil and drainage, filling the reservoir to the maximum indicated level.
