AI-powered, self-watering smart planters can make for lovely decorative pieces while keeping your plants healthy, happy and hydrated. Smart planters on the market, like the Leafy Pod or Ivy, can assist you in monitoring your plants through the designated mobile apps.
After connecting to the app, you can choose your plant from a list of over 100 plant options. Once connected, you will receive mobile notifications for personalized plant care. Using sensors, these planters can monitor factors like soil moisture, light, temperature and humidity in real-time. So if your plant is unhappy, you’ll receive a notification through the app, helping you provide the right care.
Some smart planters, like Smart Plant Ivy, also add a visual aspect to their interface. Using AI and sensors to monitor plant health, the planter notifies you of specific needs and communicates its “emotions” by displaying smiley or sad faces. The planter also reacts to touch and environmental changes, allowing you to respond accordingly.
Overall, these planters are ideal for anyone looking to add a touch of green to their space without the hassle of constant care.
