Mon Pot is a pot for flowers, plants that can help you yo know when you need to water it. Some plants do not need water frequently, some plants need to "suffer", we can easlily forget to water them. This concept work very simply, when it is on the base, you just need to burn the pot towards one of the time indicators, a small mark for one day, a larger one for one week, two larger for two weeks. During the chosen period, the pot will turn to regain its original position. This rotation also allows the plant to benefit from more light.
When the pot is returned to the starting position, an LED lights up informing the user that time has come to give some water to his plant. The marks of time indicator are made of small solar cell, enough to power an LED. The weight of the plant will start the device.
The original idea comes from the cooking timer, Mon Pot is a concept that adapt this principle to an object of everyday life ; environmentally and contemporary.
