My daughter is heading off to college soon and she wants to take a few of her beloved plants with her. I'm concerned she might get too busy with schoolwork and forget to water them. Is there any kind of device or tool she can use that gives a visual alert when the plants need water?

Have you heard of the Sustee aquameter? It's pretty cool! It turns blue when the soil is wet and then slowly changes to white as it dries out, giving a visual cue of when the plants need water. This could be a great way to help her remember without stressing so much.
Bringing plants might actually be a nice way for her to learn some responsibility! Just having them around could motivate her to take care of them.
I totally get your concern! A simple solution could be to just set a phone alarm once a week to remind her to water the plants. This way, she won't forget, and it'll encourage her to take care of them regularly.
