CONCEPT
The concept for this project is to create a tangible way of monitoring the light and moisture level of my plants.
By using an LCD display, a light sensor, and a soil humidity sensor and connecting it to the arduino I was able to further understand the needs of my plants.

SCHEMATIC
NEXT STEPS
This project could evolve in two ways:
- Create an alarm or connect an LED so that it triggers when the light is too low or soil is too dry.
- Create a system that waters the plant depending on the amount of light it is receiving and the dryness of the soil
