Singing Flower Pot with Built-in Moisture Sensor Review and Giveaway

I am TERRIBLE when it comes to taking care of plants. Many plants have died on me, mostly because I don't water them enough, so I thought the Singing Flower Pot with Built-in Moisture Sensor from Rockconcepts, Inc., (ARV $19.99) could be just what I needed to help prevent me from killing more plants!

About the Singing Flower Pot with Built-in Moisture Sensor: Alerts you when your plant needs water by playing the classic song, “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”. This ingenious flower pot monitors the moisture in the soil once every hour. If the moisture in the soil falls below approximately 20% it reminds you to water your plant once an hour until the plant is watered. Includes the following features: Automatic Light Sensor – Prevents flower pot from singing at night! Soil Retainer – Helps prevent root rot from over watering! Battery Indicator - Blinks red when batteries are low! Includes 3 AA batteries.

For school Little Music Man planted some seeds and brought them home, so it was perfect to test out in the flowerpot.

It looks like a regular flowerpot, and once I put the plant in the pot, I activated the moisture sensor by sliding the switch, and waited to see how long it would be before I heard the song.

It wasn't too long--less than 5 minutes (because yes, I haven't been watering the plant), and actually the first time i heard the song, it startled me a bit! The song is not too loud, but loud enough so I could hear it from any room in my home.

Well, I didn't water the plant right away, and I thought I wouldn't hear the song again for another hour, but for some reason the flowerpot sang about 5 minutes later.

So I watered the plant, and sure enough, no more singing!

There's an automatic light sensor that prevents it from singing at night in the dark. So far I haven't heard it sing while we're all asleep--so the sensor must be working, or maybe I'm just doing a great job watering the plant!

If for some reason you no longer want to hear the singing anymore, just turn the switch to "off," or just make sure you water the plant consistently!

I think the Singing Flower Pot is such a cute idea and it would make a really fun gift! I also think the Singing Flower Pot can be a practical product for those without a green thumb, like me!
