“This device fully automates necessary processes for house plants including light and water regulation.
I’ve personally always enjoyed having plants so when I came to college, I thought it would be nice to grow some in my room. After going on vacation for spring break, I returned to my dorm to find my plants wilting away. This inspired me to create this project to create a device that can supply essential nutrients like water and light to the plant according to when it needs it. This allows for me to not need to be constantly watering because the capacitive soil sensor automatically will detect when it needs to be watered and it doesn’t require me to have to take my plants in and outside because they can always get enough light with the LED strips.”
