Gadgets for Gardening and Plant Care

March 27, 2013 by giovanni

Track Your Plants’ Condition with Wi-Fi

Not only does Koubachi have an app that tells you when to water, fertilize or mist each of your individual plants, but they also have wireless indoor and outdoor sensors for each plant that monitors the lighting, soil, and water conditions.

Plant Care Tech on a Budget

If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, check out the Thirsty Light and Singing Robin plant sensors.

Put Your Plants on Twitter

If you’ve got some DIY skills, you might consider the Arduino-powered Botanicalls kit that lets your plant contact you on Twitter when it’s thirsty.

Automated Watering with Oasis Drip System

You can put up to 20 plants on the Oasis drip watering system. It has a 6.6 gallon reservoir, 4 program settings, and costs less than $80.

A Very Simple Drip Solution

A low-tech drip option is this set of self-watering probes that draw water from any container you supply.

Bitponics Brings Hydroponics Home

Bitponics is fully-funded Kickstarter project for a fully-automated, home-sized hydroponics system that will allow you to have a year-round indoor garden.

    I believe that Alaska Grow Buckets are the easiest self-watering planters anybody can make to grow their own food. The Alaska Grow Bucket needs only 1 bucket, a plastic kitchen colander, and a fabric shopping bag. Construction is easy and takes just a few minutes and complete instructions are FREE. alaskagrowbuckets.com
