More and more people are emphasizing the necessity of global environmental protection while ignoring the plants right in front of them. Scientific studies have shown that being in a plant-rich environment can increase creativity and productivity, but keeping plants healthy and beautiful is tough because most plants require a consistent routine of maintenance and watering to thrive.

During a vacation about ten years ago, I went out for 7 days and had fun while something unfortunate happened. All of my plants at home died due to lack of water …
I used my expertise and talents as a plant enthusiast and maker to create a DIY gadget that could automatically irrigate flowers using Arduino. I shared it on Instructables, a website where people can share their DIY projects. Surprisingly, it went viral and garnered a lot of attention and appreciation. The community's desire for plant self watering system inspired and encouraged me significantly.

However, the DIY gadget could only serve few people because it demands some hands-on experience. Therefore, with the advice of many users, we integrated this DIY project into an All-in-One Kit in 2015, which also received a lot of praise and feedback after its launch.
When we realized the limitation that this kit is mostly useful to plant-growing enthusiasts who are familiar with Arduino programming, we came up with the idea to make this kit into a consumer product. Our team started in 2017, from botanical research, combined with software and hardware design, and finally realized the idea, that is GrowCube
For different plant species, smart watering is performed accordingto real-time monitoring of soil moisture data.
Auto watering by user setting water interval and water duration
Manual start watering, manual stop watering
