Watering is the most important cultural practice and most labor intensive task in daily
greenhouse operation. Watering systems ease the burden of getting water to plants
when they need it. Knowing when and how much to water is two important aspects
of watering process. To make the gardener works easier, the automatic plant watering
system is developed. This project uses watering sprinkler system because it can water
the plants located in the pots. An Arduino is used and programmed to sense the
moisture level of the plants and supply water if required. By doing so, the plant can
be kept healthy and alive without the need for monitoring and watering by the user.
A prototype of self-watering system for plant is developed to address this idea.
