How to fake a green thumb
Now watering your plants can stop being a guessing game thanks to Lechuza‘s Self-Watering Planters. Each planter has a sub-irrigation system that enables your plant to supply itself with the amount of water needed for optimal growth for up to 12 weeks (depending on planter size, plant type and location). These little wonders are available in various colors, sizes, and styles for both indoor and outdoor plants. Starting at around $30 they’re totally worth it, especially for those frequent travelers and unintentional plant killers!

Something to help you stop killing those nice plants!
For novice gardeners and/or hard-to-grow plants, here’s a really useful tool I came across: EASYBLOOM. This sensor will actually tell you if something you are growing needs more water or light (how cool is that!). Between the sensor itself and the EasyBloom website, you can figure out key information like where a plant would grow best in your yard or diagnose a plant’s ailment so you can try to bring it back to life! This is definitely a perfect gift for anyone who likes plants and/or gardening.
