Shade-Requiring Plant Pot (SRPP) is an electronic garden pot for indoor plants. Most of the indoor plants prefer a humid atmosphere and indirect light, therefore the SRPP can help the indoor plants to conform an outdoor life. Sensors are set in the pot to sense the temperature and sunlight. Processing interface will visualize these data. And a RBG LED will change color following the temperature changed to inform user. The pot includes two layers: external layer is stable; the internal one is rotated by the motor. User can use keyboard to control the internal layer to close the gap between two layers.
