The LeafyPod, a smart planter that uses an app to learn each plant's needs and create a personalized watering routine, has raised over £21,000 in its crowdfunding campaign.
Houseplants have been growing in popularity, particularly among Gen-Z and millennial plant enthusiasts. Data from the National Gardening Association shows an increase in young people tending indoor gardens from 25% to 34% between 2018 and 2023. A 2021 report by Miracle-Gro found that 18-24-year-olds owned an average of 10 houseplants. This trend may be linked to the extra time spent at home during the pandemic, with adults spending an average of £300 per year on their plant collections.
With the return to office working, plants might be receiving less attention. The LeafyPod, a smart planter, aims to help users care for their plants effortlessly. It uses an app to learn each plant's needs and creates a personalized watering routine, even suggesting adjustments based on the plant's environment. The LeafyPod has garnered significant interest, raising over £21,000 in its crowdfunding campaign. While similar devices like the Parrot Pot exist, the LeafyPod is rechargeable and offers a more sophisticated user experience. The company emphasizes the wellness benefits of plants and the ease of use provided by the LeafyPod
