Approach

For this project, I wanted to account for an unusual yet realistic aspect of plant care - music helps plants! Several studies indicate that music helps plants grow faster. Vibrations from music have been found to help certain types of plants to grow up to 20% faster with increased biomass. Some studies even suggest that even though the music itself doesn't help, the act of being that involved with your plant results in you caring for it more, which leads to a healthier plant. 

I also wanted to make the plant capable of communicating its current mood. So whether it's listening to music, craving sunlight, or feeling content, it will raise a tiny flag to express it. This information is glanceable and engaging with use of lights and icons.
