Hey everyone! I'm a student currently working on a project for my engineering portfolio. I'm designing a sustainable indoor plant watering system that captures and reuses excess water to prevent overwatering and minimize waste. I'd appreciate any insights from actual plant owners! Specifically, I have two questions: 1. What challenges do you face when watering your plants? 2. Would a system like this be beneficial for you, or do you have any concerns? Thanks a lot!

Have you thought about integrating a soil moisture sensor? It would be awesome if your system could water based on how dry the soil is. Just a thought, but it could make your design even more effective!
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually plan to include various sensors to monitor different conditions that plants need. The data will feed into an app I’m working on, where users can adjust settings manually or remotely, perfect for busy folks or those who travel. I'm also exploring the idea of using AI to optimize conditions based on the specific plants users have!
