It is the sign of times when one sees flower pots being designed to let their owners know how to take care of the plants. Unlike our forefathers who toiled in the fields, many of us modern day folks probably do not have much of a clue (nor the time) on how to take care of a plant.
Hence we earlier saw a digital pot that showed the plant's health using cute LCD icons. Now, another designer by the name of Samgmin Bae gives us his concept flower pot called Roly Poly Pot. This is one funny pot. When the plant is thirsty, the pot tumbles over!
I am not kidding! The tagline for the Roly Poly Pot goes: "A pot that tumbles over when the plant is thirsty".

Love being outdoors, but can’t stand the heat? While it is impossible to change Malaysia's location near the equator, one can beat the heat with Cool Merchant's Mist Fan. According to Cool Merchant, they are the first Malaysian company to offer a unique outdoor cooling solution since opening in 1996.
Not contented with merely introducing their mist fan product, the folks at Cool Merchant also introduced a new word to us... Mistscaping!
According to The Star:
Cool Merchant’s latest Mist Fan that blends effortlessly with one’s abode is beauty to the eyes, as it appears less “industrial”, is smaller, quieter, yet delivers the same balmy breeze that carries away the heat.
Homeowners who just can’t give up the outdoors can opt for the Cool Merchant Mistscaping Solution. The Mistscaping system uses a multitude of mist nozzles to create a cooling wave of mist. Besides creating a cooler environment in the garden, Mistscaping also keeps away pesky mosquitoes, and takes away dust and haze, while giving plants a lush and fresh look at all times

The Star has an article entitled Taking the chore out of gardening. The article mentions that Sesama Ventures has opened Secretani Green Stations in Kuantan Parade and Tesco Ampang. The company will have kiosks in all Tesco outlets nationwide by the end of August. The Green Station is a one-stop gardening kiosk selling plants and tools as well as the company's eco-friendly fertiliser and growth enhancer called Secretani.
Here is an extract from the article:
Secretani was researched and developed in Japan but it has been localised and is manufactured in Malaysia. It can be used for both decorative plants and vegetables, and comes in a convenient spray can; more than 10,000 bottles have been sold. It helps keep away pests and mosquitoes and can be used for houseplants.

For some of us, it can be tough to take care of a plant. How much to water, how much sunlight it needs? And if the plant ends up dried and shriveled, we give up and get an artificial replacement.
Designer Junyi Heo must have heard our woes and realised that there must be a better way to improve plant-human communications. Hence, an intelligent pot by the name of Pet Plant/Digital Pot.
