The new version of Botanicalls can now speak to Twitter. It uses an Arduino electronics board connected to a notebook, and some soil moisture probes crafted from a couple of galvanised nails. Your plant can then send out a Twitter alert when it’s thirsty, detect when its been over- or under-watered and let you know about that, and it can even signal its thanks. So, if you’re off on vacation and your office-mates have abandoned your desk greenery, your plants can now automatically point the (green) finger at them. [Botanicalls via Make]
