An IoT-enabled outdoor plant box revolutionizes gardening by automating care and optimizing growth conditions. But choosing the right plants is key to maximizing its potential. Here are the top picks for your smart garden:

1. Herbs (Basil, Mint, Rosemary)

These thrive in controlled environments with consistent moisture and sunlight. IoT sensors ensure they get just the right amount of water and light, making them ideal for beginners.

2. Leafy Greens (Lettuce, Spinach, Kale)

Fast-growing and responsive to precise watering, leafy greens benefit from IoT monitoring to prevent over- or under-watering.

3. Strawberries

Perfect for vertical plant boxes, strawberries need careful pH and moisture balance—easily managed with IoT soil sensors.

4. Tomatoes (Dwarf Varieties)

Compact tomato plants flourish with automated nutrient delivery and climate control, ensuring juicy yields.

5. Succulents (Sedum, Echeveria)

For low-maintenance options, succulents paired with IoT alerts for infrequent watering are a smart choice.

Pro Tip: Pair your IoT plant box with shade-tolerant plants like ferns if placed in variable light conditions. Smart gardening has never been easier!
