The best smart plants to improve your daily life

When you think about making your daily life better, smart plants probably aren't the first thing you think of. But there are myriad reasons as to how they can do just that. From air quality to not having to worry about if the grocery store has run out of basil, household plants can serve more purposes than just being decorative.

We know, plants are kind of a pain. They typically require a lot of care. But just like technology has moved into the future in other realms, it’s gotten more advanced when it comes to your favorite flora and keeping them healthy. We now have smart plants that can practically take care of themselves. So even if you have a black thumb of death (raising a hand over here), you can keep that aloe from dying.

Sure, houseplants look nice and add a certain level of sophistication to any room, but they serve more purposes than just that. Indoor plants can greatly improve your home’s air quality, and there are certain plants that are better at doing so, like dragons trees, English ivy, and Gerbera daisies. Though, if you’re looking to add plants to your home, and you have pets, be sure to make note of plants that harm animals.

And what’s better than having fresh herbs on-hand at all times? Forget about that bike ride to the supermarket. Or worrying about how many pesticides have touched that rosemary. When you grow at home, you can control that and eat organic foods.

Urbie Air 3-in-1 Advanced Indoor Air Purifier offer comfortable air

Achieve comfortable air in your home every day with the Urbie Air 3-in-1 Advanced Indoor Air Purifier. It works in three different ways to clean the air around you.

Finally, yet most impressively, Urbie Air can even water the plant all on its own. It uses three powerful fans to pull in humidity and bio-filter VOCs. Plus, it houses five smart sensors so it’s always working efficiently. These include tracking the air quality, humidity, temperature, water tank level, and the thirst of the plant inside.

Verdeat Personalized Home Garden automatically grows your plants

What’s better than farm to table? Depending on where you keep the Verdeat Personalized Home Garden, you may get table to table.

Glowpear Urban Garden Self-Watering Planter Box is a time saver

If you want to garden but don’t have a green thumb, the Glowpear Urban Garden Self-Watering Planter Box can help you achieve that. It’s designed so plants take the amount of water they need.

This planter can be placed either indoors or outdoors, making it a beautiful addition in whatever space you have.

But, there’s a truly eco-friendly approach that other kits don’t have: upcycled phosphorous. These kits actually use phosphorous that has been recovered in its pure form before it can pollute our waters. This essential nutrient for plants is then part of a closed-loop, meaning it’s totally sustainable.
