It started with a dream — what if my monstera could learn when to ask for water?

I hooked up a Raspberry Pi, a soil moisture sensor, and a tiny neural network trained on 3 weeks of watering data.

The plant now flashes a green LED when it's happy, and a red one when it's thirsty. Occasionally it plays 'lofi beats to grow to'.

After a month, I noticed the plant had grown faster. Was it the tech? Or just more attention? Either way, it’s thriving.

Merging tech with nature doesn’t have to be dystopian. Sometimes it just means your plant blinks at you when it needs help.
