How does your plant feel today?
The problem: people love plants growing in their home and office, but sometimes
they forget to water them …

Don’t let your plant get down!
Our goal :build a device which senses the humidity level inside the pot, and alerts when it is not sufficient

Cacti and succulents- let soil dry out almost
completely
Flowering plants-Keep
moist at all times. Don’t let the soil
dry out.
Foliage plants- keep uniformly
moist but not wet. The soil may dry
out a bit.
When should the red light turn on?

More indicators for water stress Indicator:
• Leaf temperature• Leaf humidification• Solute concentration • ABA hormone• Chlorophyll
concentraion
Measured by:• Thermometer• Porometer
• Specific antibodies • Photometer
