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".
How does the pot knows when the plant is thirsty? A counterweight consisting of water is used. When the water level drops, the pot will slowly tip over. Since each plant requires different amounts of water, the pot can be adjusted to work with any plant’s watering needs.
Unfortunately, Roly Poly Pot is still a concept for now. Nevertheless by the looks of this, gardening in the future could very well be as simple as plug and play. Or plant and forget... taman dan lupa! Well, you get the idea.
