What problem are we trying to
solve?
• Particularly, in busy homes or hostels, people
frequently neglect to water their plants causing
them to dry out.
• A green environment truly helps us take a break,
and enhances mental health and air quality.
Who is actually affected by this?
Primary :
The plants!!!
Secondary :
Students and residents who own
plants
Tertiary :
Environment and sustainability
committee
Empathy Map :
Says : Thinks : Does : Feels :
“I forgot to “I wish there Waters only Guilty, forgetful
water my plant was a way it when
again!” stayed remembered
hydrated”
Root cause (Why does this
happen?):
Irregular Manual No automated

schedules and watering system or
forgetfulness depending on simple
availability reminder
Current coping behaviour :
• Watering plants manually when remembered.
• Keeping reminders on phones.
• Using advanced kits which are usually
expensive.
Impact / consequences :
Humans error causes plants
> to be overwatered or dry
out.
> Wastage of water and
unhealthy plants.
> Discourages students/people
from keeping plants in their
rooms.
Team reflection:
• Our team members have noticed that due to no
one remembering to water plants on a daily
basis, there has been a lot of plants which
withered.
• This also discourages students from trying to
keep their environment green and fresh.
