In 2009, the enterprise has been completely rebuild. It has been rebuild and set up to suit the cultivation of amaryllis specifically. The newest techniques have been applied concerning the use of surface, climate control and energy facilities. Hereby the company is fit for the future to grow amaryllis as efficient and clean as possible.
Unique to the company now is that fossil fuels, like natural gas, will never be used again. All warmth and coldness that is needed for the cultivation is produced with a warmth pump. This pump is economical in the use of energy and does not produce CO2. The total growth surface in the greenhouses adds up to 18.000 m2.
In the greenhouse a moveable cultivation-system has been installed, that secures the goal of a maximum use of surface. The amaryllis bulbs grow in containers with a layer of clay granules of 15 cm. This cultivation-system is watertight, so that water and fertilizers are utilized optimally. The bulbs in the cultivation containers are warmed with plastic tubes, that are used for cooling in summer. Between the bulbs lay tubes for water and fertilization.
The warmth is delivered by the warmth pump, that runs on electricity, and produces both warmth and coldness simultaneously. The produced warmth is used in the greenhouse, while at the same time the coldness is stored in underground sources, called aquifers. In spring and summer, this water of approximately six degrees Celsius is pumped up to cool the greenhouse and the amaryllis bulbs.
