House plant measures the economic wellness of Home Depot
spore11.jpg

The “Spore 1.1” project is a self-sustaining ecosystem for a rubber tree plant purchased from Home Depot where the economic health of Home Depot stock value is analyzed and used to control the watering of the plant through a custom built circuit. If the company does poorly and the plant dies, the plant is returned to Home Depot and replaced with another at no additional cost. Let’s just hope that the economy starts improving so that we can save all of the house plants.
