The designing and construction of an automatic plant feeder can be quite motivating. The practical services this device can accomplish through user-friendly features can provide plant lovers an easy way of watering their plants automatically. A plant, such as an Aloe Vera, may need as little as 50mL a day to stay alive. This means that a gallon of water may last as long as 75 days (nearly 1/5th of a year). The water source for our device, a modified tank, will be capable of holding at least 2 gallons and will provide the user with a year-round commodity.
Different plants need different amounts of water. A feature on our device can be able to provide different amounts of water to different kinds of plants. A manual can be included that guides the user through various plants and their optimal watering times. Though this may not include every plant, a user will be able to relate to similar plants within a category, such as Aloe Vera to other succulents.
