The houseplant uprising is here, and they're tweeting
No need to set up that amaryllis cam after all. With SparkFun's Botanicalls Kit, just hook your houseplants up to a tiny chip that senses when they're low on water and sends a tweet to your mobile phone to let you know they're parched.
The high-tech gardening device is part of the Botanicalls mission to open up a \"new channel of communication between plants and humans, in an effort to promote successful inter-species understanding\" (um, yeah...OK). The unit comes with preprogrammed messages, but you can also create customizable ones, so get ready to set up that #HappyHourforHostas hashtag.
Now if only they could get *pants* to tweet -- that's a potentially titillating text we'd like to see.
What would your plants tweet about you if they could?
