Problem Statement

The inability to provide ideal growing conditions for house plants can be challenging for individuals who desire to have plants in their homes. Factors such as limited natural light exposure or extended periods of absence from home can lead to inadequate care for plants. As a result, there is a need to develop a solution that can support plant growth and survival under such conditions. Project Oasis is one such solution that aims to address this problem. The objective of this project is to provide a suitable environment for house plants that can facilitate their growth and survival in the absence of ideal growing conditions or when the owner is away.
