BotanIQ is designed to be the perfect tool for plant lovers who want to keep their plants healthy and thriving! Our project is part of the Hackathon competition, where we focus on providing creative and innovative solutions for real-world problems. We are excited to showcase how BotanIQ aligns with the competition's vision, aiming to bring ease and balance to the world of plant care.
We all love the idea of having lush, green plants around us, but let’s be real—keeping them alive can be a challenge! 😅 Between busy schedules, forgetfulness, and not knowing exactly what our plants need, it can feel like a struggle. While building this app, one thought kept guiding us: something as simple yet profound as caring for a plant.
If we overwater a plant, it rots. If we neglect it, it dries up. The key to a thriving plant is balance—knowing when to nurture and when to let it grow on its own. 🌿✨ Life itself is a lot like plant care. Too much control can smother, and too little care can cause things to fade away.
And that’s where the Plant Care Dashboard comes in! 🌱💚 It’s designed to help you strike that perfect balance for your plants, ensuring they thrive.
