Caring for plants can often be difficult, they can die from lack of water, overwatering, too much sun exposure, not enough sun, the list goes on. I want to make an automated succulent garden. I will use an Arduino, LEDs, a small water pump, and a moisture sensor. Using the internet to research different plant species and their individual needs, I will be able to program specific watering cycles and adjust the amount of light that the plants receive.<\/p>\n
This project is out of personal interest, but if others want one, it will all be open source.<\/p>\n
