But now, this super neat invention, you won’t ever have to worry about such a thing. This smart planter will now turn any household plant-pot of yours into an adorable life-like Tamagotchi!
With pets, things are easier. Most of the time they let us know when they are hungry or otherwise. Plants don’t kick up a fuss when they’re thirsty, that’s why it’s more difficult.
What is a Tamagotchi?
The Tamagotchi, for those who are unfamiliar, is a handheld digital pet, created in Japan by Akihiro Yokoi of ‘WiZ’ and Aki Maita of ‘Bandai’. It was released by Bandai in November 1996 in Japan and May 1997 in the rest of the world, quickly becoming one of the biggest toy fads of the 1990s and early 2000s. As of 2017, over 82 million units have been sold.
