As four students with a passion for design and innovation, we knew that plants do more than just decorate a space, they can also improve wellbeing. They reduce stress, lower anxiety levels, and increase productivity. But we also saw how difficult it can be to take care of plants in a busy life: too much water, too little, root rot… so many complications.

We did research, lots of research. And what we discovered was surprising. Not only did many people struggle with plant care, but nearly half of all households dealt with incorrect humidity levels in the home. This also had a direct impact on our wellbeing, productivity, and health.

We never really realized it, but the air in our homes is often too dry. We could feel it on our skin, in our irritated airways, and in the frequent colds. During the winter months, humidity would sometimes drop below 30%, making viruses spread faster and our plants dry out more quickly.

That was the moment we decided: there has to be a way for plants to care for themselves and simultaneously improve the air quality in the home.
