MYSTERIOUS: This smart home gadget can tell you when to water feed and move your houseplants - What They Never Told You

Oko smart sensor.
QUICK SUMMARY

Oko is a smart plant care system that's just launched on Kickstarter, designed to take the guesswork out of plant parenting. It uses a sensor and app to monitor key factors like water levels, temperature and humidity.

It's live on Kickstarter now, with pledges starting at £35 ($47).

If you feel like you're constantly tending to a plant graveyard, you're not alone. Keeping houseplants alive is harder than it looks, and those droopy, browning leaves are an all-too-familiar sight for many of us. If even low-maintenance plants end up looking miserable in your care, don’t worry – we might’ve just found your new secret weapon.
