From the Daily Mail:
For many people living in towns and cities, growing flowers, fruits or vegetables is out of the question.
But a team of inventors from San Francisco has unveiled a device that makes it possible, via an indoor greenhouse that can be controlled by a smartphone.
By connecting their phone to the greenhouse, people will be able to grow fruit and vegetables in their homes without needing access to a garden.
The indoor gadget uses a built-in miniature computer that detects when plants need water and the ideal temperature for their growth.
The glass-sided device uses special sensors to pick up these readings, which then automatically activate different parts of the machine.
And the device warms up, cools down, turns on a light or waters the plants autonomously without input from the user.
