Folium 2.0 accepts inputs from plant temperature sensors and moisture sensors (available from WayBeyond). The sensors plug directly into the base of the unit to provide crucial information on plant temperature, transpiration rates and plant irrigation needs.
Actual VPD
Transpiration rates are crucial in understanding the needs of your plant. Using a plant temperature Folium can provide an actual value for Vapor Pressure Deficit to inform you about your plants transpiration rate.
Dew Point
Moisture on the leaf surface increases the risk of pathogens like powdery mildew and botrytis. With Dew Point readings you can stay clear of climate conditions that lead to disease outbreaks.
Plant temperature
Knowing your plant temperature helps you better understand the rate of photosynthesis and also the stress on your plants from their environment. Folium accepts a plant temperature sensor to collect and visualize that data. Plug the sensor into the base of the unit and you’re ready to go..
Soil/substrate moisture
Using real-time data helps you better manage irrigation and nutrient delivery to increase yield and quality. There’s no guesswork on which plants are being overwatered and which are in need. Watering schedules can be adjusted accordingly so you use less water and less power running pumps, both of which contribute to your costs.
