EasyBloom Plant Sensor Comes to Life

The EasyBloom plant sensor is incredibly cute-looking, but it packs a scientific punch, too. It may be called a "plant sensor," but what it really does is sense where plants should be, not where they already are.

It has two prongs that you stick in the ground where you're thinking of planting something, be it a tree, a flowerbed, or a rose bush. You then leave the EasyBloom in your desired location for 24 hours, where it tracks sunlight, temperature, soil moisture and other plant-friendly environmental statistics. After 24 hours, simply uproot it and plug it into your computer via a USB cable, and it will tell you anything you want to know about the location--but most importantly, what type of plant (or plants!) would grow best there.

Most interesting, when placed near plants which are struggling, the EasyBloom can "diagnose" them, and let you know what might be troubling them. The shipping price is $59.99, but I would imagine that for certain green-thumbed technophiles out there, this daisy could be priceless.
