ABSTRACT:
Many people have indoor plants in their homes, often of a variety of species. Each plant species requires specific climatic conditions for luxuriant growth. Such requirements include the correct amount of light, water, heat, air and nutrients. All these factors are important in the plants' biological processes of photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration.
Currently most people simply guess when a plant needs watering and fertilization. Some commercial products are available on the market to measure soil humidity, air temperature and light. These devices do not provide an integrated electronic plant husbandry system as proposed by this invention.
The invention aims at electronically monitoring the indoor plants' environment and via a preprogrammed, plant husbandry program, which contains the required values for proper specific plant species growth, will inform the user of the next required watering for each different plant, the amount of required water and whether or not the current plant's dosage of light and heat is correct for optimum growth. It will also notify the user when fertilizer should be added.
