Abstract: The promising paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) has rapidly proliferated in a number of domains, e.g., energy monitoring, transportation, smart cities, healthcare, and the like. Leveraging on the same, in this paper, we proposed an Internet of Plants system to remotely monitor soil moisture level and automate watering control for the plants. The envisaged system not only facilitates in over watering or under watering of the plants but also provides data collection for the gardeners to understand the key features pertinent to healthy growth of plants. Such kind of system also encourages more people to grow their small-scale organic gardens in urban areas, thereby, increasing greenery in modern cities.
