Since I couldn&#8217;t even get up without help, much less walk around for more than a minute or two at a time, watering my plants fell quite low on my priority list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/energy\/unplugging-these-common-household-devices-reduced-electricity\/\">I stopped leaving these 7 common household devices plugged in, and my energy bill noticed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a result, most of my plants died, including the almost $100 worth I&#8217;d bought at Lowe&#8217;s right before my injury. The only plant that&#8217;s thriving is the Dieffenbachia that&#8217;s sitting pretty in the LeafyPod. A few of my older plants survived thanks to my kids&#8217; sporadic help and the plants&#8217; hardiness, but none are as healthy as the Dieffenbachia.<\/p>\n<h2>How the LeafyPod works<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/smart-home\/leafypod-smart-planter-review\/\" alt=\"LeafyPod Smart Planter\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Maria Diaz\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I repotted that plant to the LeafyPod, I just added soil as needed and filled the water reservoir. The LeafyPod is rechargeable, so you don&#8217;t have to keep it plugged in to use it. I fully charged it before putting it in its permanent spot, and the battery is still only a third depleted after almost two months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When setting up the LeafyPod app, you can add the plant that you&#8217;ve potted, and it&#8217;ll tell you about its water and light needs. Once the planter is charged and set up in the app, the LeafyPod will learn to adjust its watering based on its surroundings. The planter learns whether your home is dry or humid, and how much sunlight your plant gets, so it can water it more or less often.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/oneisall-ease-s1-review\/\">Oneisall Ease S1 review: Finally, a smart litter box that doesn&#8217;t cost an arm and a paw<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You do need a bridge to connect the LeafyPod to the app and see your planter&#8217;s status remotely, which must remain plugged in to work. Each bridge lets you connect multiple planters (LeafyPod doesn&#8217;t specify how many), and costs $48, though you can buy it as part of the starter pack with a planter.<\/p>\n<p>The app shows you all the plant&#8217;s details, how much sunlight it&#8217;s getting, and keeps a record of each watering session.<\/p>\n<h2>ZDNET&#8217;s buying advice<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/smart-home\/leafypod-smart-planter-review\/\" alt=\"LeafyPod Smart Planter\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Maria Diaz\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After testing different types of smart planters geared more toward home agriculture, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/smart-home\/are-smart-planters-legit-i-tested-one-at-home-for-45-days-and-heres-how-it-went\/\">Plantaform<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-invested-in-a-smart-indoor-garden-you-dont-have-to-how-my-harvesting-is-going-so-far\/\">Gardyn<\/a>, which require proprietary seed pods and growing medium, as well as water refills every 1 to 3 weeks.
