Automatic Smart Plant Pot - (DIY, 3D Printed, Arduino, Self Watering, Project)

thingiverse

Sometimes when we leave home for a few days or are extremely busy, our house plants unfairly suffer because they don't get watered on time. Here's my solution. All the electronics, pumps, and water reservoir are housed inside the pot to maintain its sleek appearance. Each pot can also be set up to meet the specific needs of different types of plants. It features an Arduino Nano that controls everything, and I've kept the cost of components as low as possible. Below are links to the parts on Amazon.
