How does PlantSmart recommend plants?
The PlantSmart Plant Sensor takes multiple readings of three different measurements over a period of at least 24 hours: • Temperature • Light • Soil Moisture When you plug the sensor into your USB port, it uploads the data collected. Then, PlantSmart uses an algorithm that takes into consideration the following items to develop a list of plants recommended for your specific location: • The environmental data from your reading at a specific location in your yard or home ensures plants can thrive given the temperature, light, and humidity in that specific location or microclimate • Local weather conditions from our weather database • For outdoor readings, USDA Zone (cold hardiness) and AHS Zone (heat zone) are considered in recommending plants.
