This study presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based smart pot system for automated monitoring of growth parameters in indoor plants. The proposed system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller with sensors for temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity, allowing continuous data collection in real time. The information is transmitted to a mobile application, enabling users to visualize plant health indicators and receive notifications for irrigation and environmental adjustments. A prototype was developed and tested with different indoor plant species over a ten-week period, demonstrating improvements in monitoring accuracy and plant care efficiency. The results confirmed the system’s ability to automate irrigation processes, optimize resource usage, and enhance decision-making for plant maintenance. This work contributes to the development of low-cost smart agriculture solutions adapted to urban and indoor environments, promoting sustainable practices through accessible IoT technologies and user-friendly interfaces.
