The Roly-Poly Pot is a very clever idea that allow us to know when our plants need water designed by Samgmin Bae. With this pot you can know exactly when plants are thirsty. Using water a a counterweight, the pot slowly tips over when water levels are low, as you can see in the pictures below. . The cool thing is each pot can be adjusted to work with any plant’s watering needs. The bad new is that the Roly-Poly Pot is just a concept for now, but let’s hope that soon we will see inteligent pots like this in our homes. - Via - Yankodesign

Interesting! The last demonstration photo cracks me up. I think I’d know if my plant needed water not because it’s tipped over, but because it looks like it’s dying.
Not every plant dies instantly, when water has run out.
Not a new idea though, derivative
