About Soileafy

1. What is Soileafy?

Soileafy is an AI-powered smart plant-care device and app. It senses and automatically waters the houseplants you already own, so you don't have to guess what they need.

2. Who is Soileafy for?

Anyone who keeps plants, especially busy people, first-time plant parents, and anyone who has lost a plant and wants to stop guessing. You don't need a green thumb.

3. How is Soileafy different from a plant-care app?

Apps send generic reminders and leave the work to you. Soileafy measures your actual plant in your actual home, then acts on what it finds, including watering.

4. How is it different from a basic plant sensor?

A basic sensor shows readings and you still do the work. Soileafy combines sensing, AI guidance and automatic watering in one device.

5. Do I need to know anything about plants?

No. Soileafy learns what your plant needs and handles most of the care for you. A short profile in the app (your location, experience level and plant types) personalizes it from day one.

The device

6. What does the device sense?

Eleven signals: soil moisture, water level, light intensity, UV exposure, temperature, humidity, soil pH, air pollution, CO2 level, airflow and a color sensor.

7. Does Soileafy water my plant automatically?

Yes. It delivers water precisely through a stem-channel system, and you can also trigger a manual “Sprinkle” from the app whenever you like.

8. How does it decide how much to water?

It combines the live readings with your plant's profile and species, and its AI keeps adjusting as the plant grows. The goal is to water only when your plant needs it.

9. Does the device have a camera?

Yes. An onboard camera monitors your plant's health and flags visible symptoms such as wilting, discoloration and pests.

10. How do I set it up?

Setup is simple, with easy-to-follow instructions in the app.

11. Can I check on my plants when I'm away?

Yes. You can see live readings and control the device remotely from the app.

12. How do I know when to refill the water?

Soileafy tracks the water level, so you can see in the app when it's time to top up.

13. How long does the battery last?

Soileafy runs on AA batteries and gives you about 4 months of battery backup. The app shows your device and battery health.

14. Does it need Wi-Fi?

Soileafy has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in.

15. Is the device durable?

Yes. It is built with durable, weather-resistant components and is resistant to outdoor conditions.

16. Will it look good in my home?

Soileafy is designed to blend into home décor, and its design is protected by a US design patent.

Plant care and the app

17. What can I do in the app?

See all your plants on one dashboard, check live readings, get upcoming care tasks, review history over time, and control the device remotely.

18. How does Soileafy personalize care?

It uses your plant's species, your home's conditions and its own readings, so the guidance is tailored to each plant instead of following generic rules.

19. Does it get better over time?

Yes. The AI learns how each plant responds and keeps adjusting as the plant grows.

20. Will it warn me before something goes wrong?

Yes. Predictive alerts are designed to flag problems before they become visible.

21. Can Soileafy help with fertilizer and sowing?

Yes. It gives fertilizer recommendations and application guidance, and advice on the best time to sow.

22. Can I water manually?

Yes. Use the “Sprinkle” button in the app for on-demand watering.

23. Does it work with my phone and smart devices?

Yes. The Soileafy app works on both Android and iOS, and you can manage every plant from your phone or smart devices.

24. Does it work with every plant?

Soileafy supports all indoor plants and builds care around your plant's species.
