Digital Pots for Green Thumbs
They say that plants grow better if you talk to them like you would a pet animal or a regular human being. I’ve always thought that’s kind of boring because plants do not react at all. At least with pets, I could at least see them wagging their tails. Besides, talking to plants? That may look like I’m the the crazy old plant lady from afar.
With this really, really cool digital pot —I won’t seem so crazy looking now. Designed by Junyi Heo, the pot has the ability to measure the condition of the plant inside it and then translates this into moods which will display on the front of the pot. It will indicate whether the plant is feeling fine or whether it needs water more or in danger of dying.
If you connect the pot via the USB, you will even be able to record all of its moods. How cool is that?
