# Miniature Plant Monitors The 'Enviro Grow' Uses a Raspberry Pi Microcontroller Board By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2023-09-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-monitors References: [geeky-gadgets](https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/self-watering-plant-monitor-04-09-2023/) & [shop.pimoroni](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/enviro-grow?variant=40055904338003)  The 'Enviro Grow' is an innovative plant monitor system that is high in functionality but low in size due to the fact that it takes the form of a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomodoro-bot)-powered board that helps you better care for your plants by monitoring moisture levels and connecting water pumps. This particular plant monitor system uses a trio of sensors that are able to keep tabs on up to three separate seed containers. These sensors can even monitor humidity and light, and include three slots that allow you to control motors and pumps. The integration of Raspberry Pi [Pico W](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raspberry-pi-pico-w) means that the system can be used to connect with online databases and residential automation systems, so the possibilities are endless. What's more, the 'Enviro Grow' plant monitor system is also available in conjunction with an array of handy accessories that include battery packs and USB cables, allowing for quick and easy setup.
