While traditional plant apps help the user take care of flowers and potted greenery through timely reminders, SmartTerra takes it one step further by stimulating a controllable self-contained miniature ecosystem -- a real digital terrarium. The mobile platform is capable to tend to high maintenance plants through "stimulating sunrises, sunsets, rainstorms and even lighting shows" in an enclosed terrarium. The product features a night time mode with soft accent lights, in order to convince the oxygen-producing friends that they are in fact within a natural environment.
In addition, the SmartTerra plant app informs the user of the plant species and their ideal environments. Optimizing a high-intensity LEDs, the botanic terrarium will receive a sustainable amount of sunlight that would omit the worry of a well-lit living space.
