Abstract : Gardening is one of the greatest hobbies or mind relaxing activities for all age groups, which kindles them to make nursery management system. Nowadays also most of the nursery owners using a manual system to water and monitor their plants. There are many difficulties or challenges for nursery owners to take care of the plants growth, so that they need to check the moisture of the soil, monitor the air humidity and temperature, and others parameters. This paper offers a solution to combine the Internet of Things (IoT) system and Android apps to monitor the plant's growth with a real-time data monitoring and also provides the system control. In this paper, the sensors are used to sense the moisture of soil, check the air humidity and temperature, discover the light intensity and measure the soil temperature. This system allows nursery owners to monitor and control the irrigation system where they can water their plants using mobile application. The sensor checks the condition of the plant and updates the data in every one hour. Other than that, Indoor nursery often faces the issue of inadequate sunlight. Natural light coming through windows may not be as strong as outdoor sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. Therefore, this system offers a solution that allows nursery owners to control a specific light-emitting diode (LED) or UV LED to simulate sunlight. This ensures that plants receive the necessary light for photosynthesis and grow healthy. Growth of Plants contribute towards air purification providing fresher air to breathe.
