Tokyo, Japan – Sony revealed new smart planting boxes today. The boxes help people grow plants indoors easily. They are designed for homes and offices.

The boxes come with built-in sensors. These sensors check soil conditions constantly. They monitor water levels, nutrients, and light. The system tells users exactly what the plant needs. It sends alerts to a smartphone app. Users get simple instructions like “Add water now” or “Move to brighter spot.”

Sony uses its experience in sensors and AI for this. The technology aims to take the guesswork out of plant care. Even beginners can grow healthy plants. The boxes handle the complicated parts. Users just follow the app’s guidance.

The boxes are self-contained units. They include efficient LED lighting. This lighting adjusts automatically. It provides the right light spectrum for growth. A water reservoir is also built-in. Refilling it is infrequent and simple.

Sony sees this as part of its commitment to environment and wellness. Bringing nature indoors improves living spaces. Growing plants reduces stress. The product makes this accessible for busy people. It suits those without gardening skills or time.
