The Plant Company

Founded in 2019, The Plant Company aims to innovate the houseplant industry by making high-quality plants more easily available. Although the company is young, horticulture is deeply rooted in their background and is at the core of everything they do.

They noticed that garden centers were in need of high quality plants that were easily available, without the requirement to purchase large quantities at once. 

They also respond to the needs of consumers, who often lack the proper knowledge to successfully care for plants. 

With a strong focus on quality and customer-oriented service, The Plant Company is making a difference in this way. With Proven Winners’ leafjoy® program, they offer a unique plant experience, with support from purchase to home care, adding value to the customer and retailer.

The Plant Company had a desire to build a state-of-the-art 5-acre greenhouse in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Besides the greenhouse, the client wanted a daylight-free and completely controlled environment for rooting the plants.

 

Complete greenhouse integration

In cooperation with Prins USA, Green Simplicity, HT Verboom, and Voshol , Stolze has realized a complete, advanced solution.

Together with our GreenV partners, we were able to make a significant contribution to the climate of the greenhouse, in the rooting chamber and the integration of all electrics, irrigation, automation and grow light. Our participation included:

 

  • Supply and integration of electrics and controls via Hoogendoorn computer (IIVO). 
  • Installation of a dimmable and channel-controlled LED grow light installation. 
  • Integration of sensors, vents, screens, fans, heating pumps, misting systems and water technology. 
  • Automation of the greenhouse and the rooting chamber, with the latter running on its own computer for autonomous control.
  • Integration of the Hortitrack system for controlling HT Verboom’s spray booms and climate computer, allowing for targeted irrigation, fertigation and crop control.
 
Optimal growth conditions

Thanks to the solutions of Stolze and its GreenV partners, The Plant Company has realized a high-tech greenhouse that creates optimal growing conditions.

At Stolze, we are proud to have contributed to the success of The Plant Company, in the middle of the beautiful surroundings of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
