As readers of this blog will know I am always on the lookout for new gardening gadgets and am constantly amazed at some of the weird and wonderful creations that are offered for sale. Today I found a list of “15 Gadgets To Keep Your Indoor Plants Alive”. Top of the list is the O2 Air Purifier which accelerates photosynthesis for more oxygen and so promotes optimal growth. It also lets you know when the plant needs more water.
A common feature of many of the gadgets on the list is the provision of information. For instance numbers two and nine monitor the moisture level in the soil and send a message to your cell phone when it begins to dry out. Surely a more practical approach would be for the sensor to activate an automatic watering system rather than just issuing a cry for help, but that would be less geeky.
Perhaps one of the more practical objects is number three, the plant robot which moves around your room to ensure that your plant receives the maximum amount of sunlight. Another is the Soil and Sun Probe which I have seen before. This is an electronic probe that you stick into the soil so that it can analyze the conditions for that particular spot. You then plug it into your USB port and it will suggest plants that will suit the conditions.
Further down the list you will find the expanding flower pot and the self watering umbrella stand. You can find the full list here.
One item that was not included in the list of fifteen is the “Grow Your Own Beer Garden kit”, surely far more useful than many of the above!
