I always wanted a plant to talk to me. “Hey, I am thirsty. Fill me up,” or “Stop, I had enough.” Just like pets, plants are so dependant on their owners. It’s really scary when you think about it. They stand there without a sound just waiting for you to take care of them. Some people talk to their plants because they feel positive vibes will make them healthier and stronger. Wouldn’t it be nice if these plants could say “thank you” every once in a while?

Tonight I met plants that can definitely talk to you through a new technology called Koubachi, a wi-fi sensor that gives you detailed care instructions on everything your plant needs: water, fertilizer, humidity, temperature and light! Koubachi also helps you identifiy your plant, get information about growth form, vegetation cycle, blossom time, details of the leaf morphology, and much more.

Koubachi works with both indoor and outdoor plants.

The info is delivered to you on your iPhone app or on the Koubachi website. Notifications, and alarms are directly sent through iPhone push-notifications or by e-mail. All your data, plants and settings are fully synchronized to the Koubachi Cloud so all devices are constantly being updated.

The Koubachi wi-fi sensor knows exactly what your plants can tolerate and alarms you immediately when conditions are dangerous, for example, if the temperature is too low when ventilating in winter. Koubachi always provides you with care advice about water, mist and fertilizer.

No more second guessing. All of a sudden your plants have a voice. Now let’s see who is in control?
