Calathea vormt het hoofdproduct binnen de teelt. Afhankelijk van vraag en seizoen worden daarnaast incidenteel nicheproducten geteeld. Door de jaren heen is de kwekerij gemoderniseerd, met een sterke focus op het optimaliseren van de teelt. Daarbij wordt gebruikgemaakt van hedendaagse technieken die bijdragen aan effici\u00ebntie en kwaliteit, waaronder een volledig geautomatiseerd sorteersysteem. Anno 2024 worden binnen de kwekerij 14 verschillende Calathea-soorten geteeld in vijf potmaten, op een totale oppervlakte van 60.000 m\u00b2, verdeeld over twee locaties.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column tb_pm9y779 last\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_11xb779\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p>Als Calathea kwekerij richt Shadowplant zich op een zorgvuldige teelt en selectie van verschillende Calathea-soorten. Binnen het teeltproces wordt van jonge plant tot eindproduct elke stap nauwkeurig gevolgd. Op basis van groei, uitstraling en kwaliteit vindt selectie plaats, wat resulteert in een met aandacht samengesteld assortiment dat breed toepasbaar is binnen interieur en retail. Daarbij speelt ook de natuurlijke herkomst van de Calathea een belangrijke rol. Van oorsprong groeit deze plant in schaduwrijke regenwouden, waar balans tussen licht, bescherming en omgeving essentieel is. Deze eigenschappen vormen een rode draad in de manier waarop binnen de kwekerij wordt gewerkt, samen met het team.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-mobile-padding=\"15px,15px\" data-css_id=\"9zls897\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth_row_container tb_9zls897 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_gzmk898 first\">\n                    <!-- module timeline -->\n<div  id=\"tb_9n5w295\" class=\"module tf_hidden tf_lazy module-timeline tb_9n5w295 layout-list\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <h3 class=\"module-title\">Geschiedenis Shadowplant<\/h3><ul class=\"tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t<li id=\"timeline-0\" class=\"timeline-post with-icon\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"module-timeline-date tf_box tf_textr\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  1986\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"module-timeline-icon\" style=\"background-color:#4ca617;\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-arrow-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-arrow-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content-wrap tf_box tf_right\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"module-timeline-title\">    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   Bouw van de eerste werkschuur\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"module-timeline-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1.jpg\" class=\"wp-post-image wp-image-1658\" title=\"1\" alt=\"Bouw van de eerste werkschuur\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-content\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <p>Construction of the first work shed on an existing greenhouse to process the orders<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.timeline-content -->\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.timeline-content-wrap -->\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li id=\"timeline-1\" class=\"timeline-post without-icon\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"module-timeline-date tf_box tf_textr\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  1986\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-dot\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content-wrap tf_box tf_right\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"module-timeline-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"module-timeline-title\">    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   Very first breeding\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"module-timeline-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2.jpg\" class=\"wp-post-image wp-image-1659\" title=\"2\" alt=\"Aller eerste kweek\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-content\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <p>The first Calatheas are grown.

Calathea vormt het hoofdproduct binnen de teelt. Afhankelijk van vraag en seizoen worden daarnaast incidenteel nicheproducten geteeld. Door de jaren heen is de kwekerij gemoderniseerd, met een sterke focus op het optimaliseren van de teelt. Daarbij wordt gebruikgemaakt van hedendaagse technieken die bijdragen aan effici\u00ebntie en kwaliteit, waaronder een volledig geautomatiseerd sorteersysteem. Anno 2024 worden binnen de kwekerij 14 verschillende Calathea-soorten geteeld in vijf potmaten, op een totale oppervlakte van 60.000 m\u00b2, verdeeld over twee locaties.<\/p>\n<p>Als Calathea kwekerij richt Shadowplant zich op een zorgvuldige teelt en selectie van verschillende Calathea-soorten. Binnen het teeltproces wordt van jonge plant tot eindproduct elke stap nauwkeurig gevolgd. Op basis van groei, uitstraling en kwaliteit vindt selectie plaats, wat resulteert in een met aandacht samengesteld assortiment dat breed toepasbaar is binnen interieur en retail. Daarbij speelt ook de natuurlijke herkomst van de Calathea een belangrijke rol. Van oorsprong groeit deze plant in schaduwrijke regenwouden, waar balans tussen licht, bescherming en omgeving essentieel is. Deze eigenschappen vormen een rode draad in de manier waarop binnen de kwekerij wordt gewerkt, samen met het team.<\/p>\n<h3>Geschiedenis Shadowplant<\/h3><ul> <li id=\"timeline-0\"> 1986 <i style=\"background-color:#4ca617;\"><svg xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-arrow-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>\n <h2> Bouw van de eerste werkschuur <\/h2> <figure> <img src=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1.jpg\" title=\"1\" alt=\"Bouw van de eerste werkschuur\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <\/figure> <p>Bouw van de eerste werkschuur aan bestaande kas om de orders te verwerken<\/p> <\/li> <li id=\"timeline-1\"> 1986 <h2> Aller eerste kweek <\/h2> <figure> <img src=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2.jpg\" title=\"2\" alt=\"Aller eerste kweek\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/teunvalstar.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <\/figure> <p>De eerste Calathea\u2019s worden gekweekt.
