Find out more about Robin: Robin is a professional writer who has created a charming kitchen garden overflowing with vegetables, herbs and flowers on her 20-acre Maryland homestead. When not gardening or cooking, she travels extensively visiting public and private gardens. She also blogs about her potager and pets, including chickens, at bumblebeeblog.com. |
If that special someone on your list loves house plants but can't quite get the hang of watering, here's the perfect gift--a gadget that lets a plant communicate its needs via the Internet.
That's right, for just $99.99 this handy dandy device allows the plant to communicate when it needs water and, in general, how it's feeling through a Twitter feed. (To see an example of a Twitter feed, click here for mine.)
The Internet-enabled house plant will help the house plant-challenged individual succeed. Heck, you and all your friends can also subscribe to the plant's Twitter feed to see what kind of plant parent your friend is turning out to be.
To add to the fun, this little gadget must be assembled using a soldering iron, solder, needle nosed pliers, small nips, masking tape--and nerves of steel.
