Meteor Systems: "Baiyi Group is one of the largest cutting flower production companies in western China. Baiyi Group recently finished a 3-ha greenhouse for hydronic calla lillies and gerberas. Growing flowers with substrate has benefits like better water control and less diseases."
In this project, a full Meteor Systems pot growing system was used.

"One of the main difficulties for growing cut calla lilies is a disease called erwinia. By using Meteor pot systems, the disease is blocked from spreading to other crops. In this way, the crops have a better quality and higher quantity.
"In addition, the potting system facilitates rotation. The growth cycle of color calla lilies is about 2 months. Traditional soil planting requires soil sterilization at the end of each growth cycle, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
"With the soilless form of potting, growers only need to change the substrate in the pot for a quick rotation.
"Meteor Systems also design the growing table at the right height so that growers can easily pick flowers."
