If you are one of those people who can’t keep a plant alive with timely management of its watering, SmartyPlants can be a great solution for your pain.
This smart plant sensor means you no longer have to guess when to water and risk accidentally killing your plant. It’s like having a plant whisperer in your pocket.
SmartyPlants comes with a cutting-edge plant sensor and connects to your mobile via an app, becoming your plant’s best friend and real savior.
The sensor tells you when your plant is thirsty, needs more sun, or isn’t feeling the humidity in your room.
Setting up the sensor is very easy. Simply insert it into the plant pot, connect it to the mobile app, and boom. You are a pro plant parent now, as the app will give you tips.
Interestingly, you can even use the app to take a picture of your plants, and it’ll tell you what’s wrong with them. What’s more, it can keep track of how much you water them and other details, so you can’t forget.
The best part? You can check on your plants when you’re not home. Thanks to Wi-Fi, you can be chilling in the library and still know if your succulent needs a sip of water.
The sensor is developed by Benjamin Michael Beavers, a passionate plant lover with a long history in management consultancy. The project was launched on Kickstarter for crowdfunding, with the price of the product starting at around $44.
As of this writing, with around 10 more days for the campaign to end, as many as 1,000 people have backed the project. If you are excited about this product, you can check this link to support Ben’s effort in creating a cutting-edge plant sensor for easy plant monitoring.
