Okay, so I might have gone a *little* overboard with houseplants during lockdown. These Kasa smart plugs literally saved my sanity when my jungle started needing 12-hour light cycles. Now my orchids bloom like they’re on steroids!

The setup? Stupid easy. Plugged in → opened app → followed cartoon-level instructions. Even my tech-challenged mom could do it (and she still calls the router ‘the internet box’). The manual button is chonky enough for emergency plant-parent panic presses.

Minor gripe: Sometimes they get moody if WiFi acts up – but honestly that’s probably my ancient router’s fault. Pro tip: Group them in the app as ‘Plant Squad’ for dramatic voice commands like *”Alexa, activate GROWTH MODE”*.

Bonus: The blue/orange status light politely turns off after checking in, unlike my neighbor’s blinding LED Christmas decorations that stay on till February.

10/10 would automate again – just bought two more packs because apparently I’m running a botanical nightclub now?
