What is a Plant Sensor, and How Do They Work?


Every year over $60 billion is spent on plants in the USA. According to a recent poll over 30% of these plants will wither and die shortly after they have been planted. This is a massive amount of wastage which in all honesty is in most cases avoidable. There are various reasons why plants die and sometimes it is unavoidable if the plant becomes diseased or damaged. But in a huge proportion of cases it has nothing to do with these reasons. It is purely down to the new owner not caring for the plant in the correct manner. Now don't you think that is a waste of, not only your own hard earned money, but also the time it has taken the grower to produce the plant and also your own time to select and plant it? Well if this scenario is familiar to you, and I know it is very familiar to me, there is now something that you can do about it. The answer is to use a plant sensor.

Recent advances in technology have seen some amazing new products come onto the market which help not only novice gardeners but experienced and competent ones also. One of the best known of these new plant sensor products is the Easybloom by Plantsense. This device will assist you in not only getting your new plants off to a flying start, but also with any existing plants which seem to be struggling. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor plants. It works by getting the plants eye view of the soil and the general growing conditions in which it is situated.

So how does it achieve this you may be asking yourself?

The Easybloom plant sensor was developed by a team of botanists and horticulturists based in San Francisco by the Plantsense Inc. It is designed to measure four specific areas which are vital for a plants healthy growth and these are.

Light Conditions
Soil Moisture
Temperature
Humidity Of Atmosphere.

If any of these conditions are not right for your plant, chances are it will never reach its full potential.

So What Do I Need To Do To Make It Work?

Well the answer to this could not be easier. All you need to do is to push the plant sensor into the ground, the container or the pot your plant is going to be in, and leave it for a minimum of 24 hours. Thats pretty simple right?

After 24 hours or more take the plant sensor out of the soil and attach it to your computer via a USB connector. The results of the conditions will be downloaded automatically to your Easybloom account and you will be able to check if the conditions are what your plant would require. You do not need to be some techno wizard either it is all laid out step by step. The data is only suitable for USA regions. The reason for this is that there is much data on specific zip code areas so you can be this precise with your requirements. But not only can this plant sensor analyze the climatic conditions to check for suitability, there is so much more that can be done via this items analysis.

The database also gives you a comprehensive list of all plants that are likely to thrive in your conditions. You can select the type of plant you would like to grow, you can select the colour the strain, the flowering season etc, basically really narrowing down your requirements. The data collected from your plant sensor will inform you if the chosen plant is likely to thrive in your conditions, and if not, what you can do to improve the conditions and ultimately the plants chances of success. There are over 5000 plants listed on the database so you will have plenty of choice. You will be able to choose plants to thrive in every area of your home and garden by placing the plant sensor in different locations and gathering individual data from each area. You can also keep a full inventory of your own plants at the present time and into the future.

So no longer will you have to wonder if a corner of the yard is too dark, or if the conditions are too cold, or is the soil too dry? None of these issues need ever be a worry again once you have a plant sensor in your possession there will be no excuse for not keeping your plants, both indoor and outdoor, looking fit and healthy for many years to come. In addition you can keep a record of your gardening expertise forever and look back with fond memories over your successes and hopefully not too many failures.

But be sure to take some before and after photographs to show everyone what a 'green thumb' you have now developed!
