Not everyone is blessed with green fingers. I count myself amongst that unfortunate subset of people who love how plants brighten up a space, but just can't manage to keep them alive for longer than a couple of weeks at a time.

Thankfully, nowadays there's tech that might just come to the rescue — and not just for serial plant-assassins, but also for anyone who goes away regularly, or is too busy to keep up with plant care, or has a home that's just not conducive to thriving greenery.
