The GARTENDEK Plant Tower 5+1+pump+timer is the flagship automated model in the vertical plant tower range — a modular stackable growing system with closed-loop pump-driven watering and maximum growing capacity, delivering zero daily maintenance and maximum yield. Five planting tiers plus a bottom reservoir with submersible pump and mechanical timer on just 40 × 40 cm — for 20 plants simultaneously.
At Diameter 425 mm, height ~920 mm, weight ~5.1 kg, it is the tallest and most productive tower in the lineup — combining the maximum capacity of the 5+1 with full closed-loop watering automation. The submersible pump pushes water up from the bottom reservoir; gravity distributes it down through the central cone of each tier; excess returns to the reservoir — closed loop. The mechanical timer (EMOS) automates pump cycles — no manual watering required.
Priced at €132.60, it targets serious home growers who want maximum capacity with total automation. Works with both soil and hydroponic methods, indoors and outdoors. Kumplast, Slovenia (EU), UV-stabilized PP #5. Requires EU outlet (220–240V / 50Hz). Three colors: Anthracite, Terracotta, Beige. Assembly: 5–10 minutes, no tools.
GARTENDEK Plant Tower 5+1+pump+timer — flagship automated modular vertical growing tower with closed-loop automated watering. 5 planting tiers + bottom reservoir with submersible pump and mechanical timer. 20 planting inserts (4 per tier, ~700 ml). Diameter 425 mm, height ~920 mm, weight ~5.1 kg. Requires electricity (220–240V / 50Hz).
Price: €132.60. UV-stabilized food-safe PP #5. Colors: Anthracite, Terracotta, Beige. Soil and hydroponic growing. Indoor/outdoor. Carton 400×400×430 mm. Made in Slovenia (EU) by Kumplast. 12-month warranty. Ships in 1–3 days.
Position in lineup: flagship automated model — maximum capacity (20 plants) with full pump+timer closed-loop automation. 80–90% water savings. Nutrient recirculation. Vacation-proof. Gravity-only without electricity: Plant Tower 5+1 (€81.50).
Closed-Loop Pump Watering System
- The water reservoir sits at the bottom of the tower
- A submersible pump pushes water upward through the central tube
- Water reaches the top and flows down by gravity through the central cone of each tier
- Water distributes evenly around each of the 5 tiers
- Excess drains through each tier and returns to the bottom reservoir
- The cycle repeats automatically on the timer schedule
The mechanical timer (EMOS): up to 48 on/off cycles per day (30-min intervals). Example: 15 min on / 4 h off = 6 cycles/day. Max load: 3680 W (pump: only 5–15 W).
Key Advantages of the Closed Loop
- No water loss except plant transpiration
- Fertilizers reused multiple times across all 5 tiers
- No substrate washout — nutrients stay in the system
- Even moistening across all 5 tiers every cycle — tallest tower in the range
- Days of autonomy at maximum scale
Assembly — No Tools, 5–10 Minutes
- Place base tray on flat surface
- Place water reservoir on base tray
- Install submersible pump (press suction cups to bottom)
- Connect water tube to pump outlet
- Stack 5 planting tiers, routing tube through center
- Fill inserts with substrate, plant, insert into pockets
- Fill reservoir with ~5 L water
- Plug pump into timer, plug timer into outlet (220–240V / 50Hz)
- Program timer — set desired on/off cycles
- Test: run one cycle manually, verify even distribution across all 5 tiers
Important: Place in final location before filling. Filled weight: ~25–32 kg — heaviest model in the range. Ensure surface can support this weight. Never run pump dry. Recommended: test water distribution across all 5 tiers before adding substrate.
Removable Planting Inserts
Each tier holds 4 removable inserts (~700 ml). 5+1+pump+timer has 20 inserts total — the most in the range:
- Crop isolation — plants coexist without competing
- Phytosanitary control — remove one diseased insert without disturbing others
- Flexible rotation — swap inserts mid-season
- Zoned planting — upper tiers herbs, middle strawberries, lower leafy greens — automated delivery to every tier
