Abstract The difficulty of looking after plants in house settings often prevents people, especially the elderly and hospital patients, from enjoying plants as a source of emotional wellbeing while coping with social isolation. This study presents GROOT - Smart Plant Monitoring System, an original approach to enhance plant care and facilitate a companionship. GROOT employs temperature, moisture, soil, and light intensity sensors managed by an Arduino, and processed via Raspberry Pi, with data storage supplied by Firebase. A Java based Android application provides users with real-time plant health information, while a Rasa-based AI chatbot facilitates user-plant conversation. Results from a prototype tested in small-scale home settings show that GROOT monitors plant health effectively and enhances users’ satisfaction by providing changes in care instruction and emo- tional support. This is significant because it envisions plants as active partners in mental health, the GROOT system represents a multi-component scalable and low cost system which enhances quality of life and reduces feelings of isolation for vulnerable users [1]. By combining horticulture precision and empathic technology, GROOT exemplifies the power of smart systems to provide personal wellness.
