‘Eva Green is not vibing with her surroundings’ — can these smart sensors help me keep my houseplants alive?

Split image of plant with Willow sensor, and plant health overview in Willow app.

This morning, I checked my phone to find a message from Eva Green — not the actress, but one of my houseplants, a Chinese evergreen. She’s thirsty, dehydrated, sitting in the dark, and generally having a bad time. My spider plant, Peter Parker, on the other hand, is having a great time and “loving life”.

These notifications arrived via Willow — a system of sensors, a hub, and a mobile app that lets you keep tabs on your indoor plants, lets you know their needs, and helps you keep them not just alive, but thriving.
