The planter has been designed by Abilliant and works by being set up with a [new or existing plant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn) before filling the [water reservoir](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere). The unit will then go to work delivering just the right level of water directly at the base of the plant to keep the soil moist but not wet. The 'Wazai' planter works with the accompanying [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantora) to let users take more control over the care of their greenery and could prevent avoidable plant death in the home once and for all. The unit is the winner of the iF World Design 2020 Award for Product Design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Planter Pots:** The 'Wazai' planter integrates with a smartphone app to provide users with control over plant care, showcasing the potential for smart technology in the gardening industry. - **Automated Plant Care:** The 'Wazai' planter automatically delivers optimal levels of water to keep plants healthy, indicating the potential for automated solutions in the home gardening market. - **Connected Home Gardening:** The 'Wazai' planter's app-connected features enable users to remotely monitor and manage plant care, highlighting the rise of connected devices in the gardening sector. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smart Home:** The integration of the 'Wazai' planter with a smartphone app demonstrates opportunities for innovative products in the smart home industry. - **Gardening:** The 'Wazai' planter's automated plant care capabilities indicate potential areas for disruptive innovation in the gardening industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** The app-connected features of the 'Wazai' planter highlight the intersection of technology and consumer electronics in the home gardening market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Powered Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leafypod.md) - [Climate-Controlled Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-flower-system.md) - [Smart Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Automated Plant Irrigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-irrigation.md) - [Futuristic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-klaustrafloria.md) - [Digital Interaction Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planta-planter.md) - [Self-Watering Desk Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha.md) - [Plant Watering Smart Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growcube.md)
