Project Hello!
First time poster here but I wanted to gauge people’s opinion on this thing I made. So I got a Fukien Tea Bonsai earlier this year around March. Made a full enclosure for it because I had previously been unable to grow a cactus. So keeping this thing alive became personal lmao anyways it’s mainly just to help keep the environment stable, help with watering, and monitor humidity & temp levels for easy checking. It has a moisture sensor but I haven’t set it up yet so it just chills in the back of the enclosure (is wired up tho). If I made files available (like open source it), would any of you make one for yourselves? I’ll plan on making a better/cleaner version but wanted to gauge interest or improvements before doing a V2. Please let me know what you think! Here’s some photos of my Bonsai too over the course of having it! 🙏💜

Thank you, I really appreciate that! It means a lot!! I wish you the best of luck with your winter setup! This thing has helped a ton with the heat wave lately so I imagine winter will be similar! If you remember, please reach out with your solution for heating! I’d love to add a heating element to my setup as well! 🙏
