You might remember the EasyBloom, a computerized plant sensor that launched in 2008 and told brown-thumbs everywhere what they should do to keep their plants healthy. EasyBloom is owned by PlantSense, and soon it’ll be known as PlantSmart. That’s because PlantSense has just signed an exclusive arrangement with Black & Decker that will put PlantSense’s EasyBloom technology in a line of Black & Decker gardening tools.
It sounds like this is nothing more than a name change. PlantSense will manage the Web component of the PlantSmart sensor, and it looks like the PlantSmart is identical to the EasyBloom. After the sensor monitors growing conditions in an area, the online software finds matches from its database of 6,000 plants. Look for the PlantSmart this fall for $49.99.
