The Flora Pod smart plant sensor is a connected device for those seeking out a way to optimize the health and wellness of their favorite greenery. The sensor works by being placed into the soil in a plant pot and will go to work providing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven recommendations to the user. This will let them know when to provide water, if the temperature isn't right, if the humidity level is off or if the plant isn't getting enough light or perhaps even too much.
The Flora Pod smart plant sensor will provide information to the user via the accompanying iOS app that will also provide them with a gamified experience by providing badges. The app will also provides points that can be spent on premium features and more.
