It may be a bit “Little Shop of Horrors,” but the work of NY scientists Kate Hartman, Kati London and Rob Faludi is genuinely useful, especially for the busy New Yorker who needs a gentle reminder every now and again. Giving voice to the voiceless, the Botanicalls kit takes a soil moisture reading and notifies the thirsty plant’s owner via Twitter when it’s time for a drink. With a little soldering and general assembly, it’s ready to go, along with the option of programming custom messages for your plant to tweet. Yup. Now your plant can start posting on Twitter. Imagine the possibilities, then go lie down for awhile when they become far too terrifying to process.
