Unique gifts: Plant Sense Easy Bloom
The Easy Bloom Plant Sensor is the new big breakthrough in plant technology. This innovative device will tell you which plants are perfect for your growing areas. It will even help diagnose a sick plant! The sensor uses the same moisture sensing technology that was used on NASA's Mars Phoenix Mission. To use, simply place the sensor where you would like to grow, wait 24 hours and then plug the sensor into the USB port of your computer. Give mom flowers, and she'll have them for a week. Help her to grow flowers-or ferns or tomatoes-and she'll have them forever. Easy Bloom does just that. All mom has to do is stick it into the garden plot or plant pot and give it a day to sample the temperature, light level, humidity and soil moisture of the location. Then she plugs Easy Bloom into the USB port on a PC or Mac, and it uploads the readings to the Plant Sense database, which recommends either what types of plants will do best in that spot or how to help the plants that are already there. $60; plantsense.com
