A plant growth apparatus comprises a plant pot (10) adapted to contain soil (12) and a plant (14). Sensors (24, 26, 28, 42) monitor the instant environment of the plant (14) and feed data to a micro-controller (44) which compares the conditions with the ideal growth conditions for the species of plant (14). Deviation from the ideal is indicated via a screen (18) whereon alphanumerical remedial actions and/or the expression of a face (20) are provided together with spoken messages from loudspeaker (32). Controls (30) or voice recognition via a microphone (34) can select the species of plant (14) to be nurtured. Nurturing ideal criteria vary with growth of the plant (14) and with the season. Interrogation of a user allows remedial action to be taken against degenerative or pathological conditions in the plant (14). User speech repetition is also provided. |
