House plants in general often have a pretty hard time of it compared to their garden bound cousins, which seem to get more than their fair share of watering, even if their owner forgets, thanks to the British weather. With so many other things to think about, the first reminder that many people get to water their plants is when it is noticed that one or two are wilting or the leaves are turning brown and dropping off! Modern central heating also ensures that the soil in pots dries out much faster, making regular watering more important, so that a little electronic help in remembering to do so should be most welcome.
