Abstract

taking care of urban gardens and promotes healthy plant growth with minimal human interference. With today's busy life, most individuals find it difficult to regularly care for their indoor or balcony plants. Chitti Pot solves this issue by fulfilling the role of a smart friend that tracks the requirements of plants and waters them in real- time conditions automatically. The system incorporates sensors for detecting soil moisture and other environmental conditions to trigger an auto-irrigation system when necessary. While current systems provide rudimentary auto- watering capabilities, they tend to lack flexibility, user interaction, and affective feedback. We will incorporate these features, the pot functions with efficiency, low power usage, and scalability. Chitti Pot has voice interaction and emotional expression via light pattern or emoji-like displays, so it is able to speak of plant requirements or moods in a warm and endearing manner. It is small, easy to use, and perfect for tiny spaces, so it is best placed in urban dwellings, apartments, and offices. Chitti Pot is not just a pot — it's a plant caretaker friend that is specifically created to assist plant lovers who do not have time or expertise to take care of them. It is your plant's intelligent companion for a greener future.
