Plants liven up any space by adding a sense of airiness and life. That
is – of course – when you don’t forget to water them, and they shrivel
up and die. I am very bad at remembering to water plants. That is why I
built this self-watering plant to do it for me. Using a soil sensor, and
an Arduino-controlled water pump, I have created a system that will
never forget to do it.
Instead of remembering to water my plants when the soil goes dry, I only
have to remember to once and a while refill the water reservoir. In
this way, I have decreased my obligation to these plants and put it off
to a much later date. Perhaps further iterations of this device can be
connected to a rain barrel so that I won’t even have to worry about
refilling my reservoir, and the entire system can be fully automated. [Link]
