Imagine answering your cell phone to hear your Scotch Moss plant telling you in a fake Glaswegian accent that it needs a drink.

This scenario is not far from reality with a group of postgraduate students at New York University developing a way for over-watered or dry plants to phone for help.

The “Botanicalls” project uses moisture sensors placed in the soil which can send a signal over a wireless network to a gateway that places a call if the plant’s too dry or wet.

Recorded voices are assigned to each plant to match its biological characteristics and to help increase the charm of the phone message and give plants their own personality.
