Those who try to grow plants indoors i.e. in their appartement for the first time realize very soon that it takes some knowledge and equipment to combine the needs of the inhabitants and the plants.

There are some issues at hand:

Smell, Heat and Consumed Air

Some plants smell and even if their smell isn't displeasant per se it is not pleasant to have it around you the whole day and night. This means you need a growing space that is airtight.

This confined space, however, is exposed to issues of heat an consumed air, so you will need a ventilation system and the growing room has to be designed to allow the installation of a fan and the removal of the consumed air.

Moisture and Dirt

Plants need soil and water or, if you decide to grow hydroponics, a solution of nutriments. This means your growing room should have a impermeable bottom to prevent dirt and water from percolating and damaging your carpet or floor boards. Also the growing room will contain warm and moist air which means you mustn't use materials that tend to mould - flake boards for example are cheap but quite the mold-magnet. They also tend to evaporate glue and synthetics which isn't good for the plants nor for the air in which - after all - you have to life. So it's best to use the right material.

Best price/performance ratio

The Homebox provides all these features and, if you want to do it right, there's even hardly a cheaper way to get your own grow room. The Homebox provides the means to suspend fans and filters, has got the apertures for the air tubes and power cables and consists of a light- and waterproof material to define a specific climate inside the Grow-Box without affecting the athmosphere of your flat.
