Flower Communicator Hanakotoba – Listen to your plants!

Hanakotoba means “Language of the Flowers” in Japanese, but the Hanakotoba communicator from e-Revolution can be used for any kind of indoor plant. By inserting the stem of Hanakotoba into your plant’s soil or water, it can convey to you what your plant cannot in a 200 word vocabulary.

There are three choices of Hanakotoba Gnomes with different colors: The green Genki Kobito (Energetic Gnome) is talkative and…well…energetic, the white Nonbiri Kobito (Carefree Gnome) is relaxed yet loves to talk, and the pink Ganbari Kobito (Tenacious Gnome) is the hardest working.

By touching part of your plant, you activate the device which then talks to you, and when the Gnome speaks its pedestal lights up in a stylish way. From welcoming you home from work to calling you over to check its water, Hanakotoba bridges the gap between the you and your delicate plant life.
