Problem
Maintaining healthy plants, whether indoors or outdoors, often requires significant time, effort, and horticultural knowledge, leading to plant neglect or over-attention. Traditional plant care methods can be inefficient, resulting in wasted water and suboptimal growing conditions, especially for individuals with busy lifestyles or limited gardening experience.
Solution
Boum offers an automated plant care system designed to simplify gardening and ensure optimal plant health with minimal user intervention. The system integrates smart pots, automated irrigation, and a companion mobile app to monitor and regulate plant hydration. Boum's self-regulating system uses a water tank with sensors to measure water levels and pumps water to the pots through discreet tubing. Plants draw water from the pot's reservoir as needed, preventing overwatering and promoting healthy root development. The mobile app provides users with real-time data on water levels and sends alerts for refilling or fertilization, enabling users to maintain thriving plants effortlessly.
