Project Description:
GreenModule is a wall-mounted modular indoor planting system designed to make indoor greenery easier to maintain in shared spaces such as universities and offices. The project addresses a key barrier to indoor plants: ongoing maintenance. Traditional plants often require frequent watering, monitoring, and replacement, which can be costly and inconvenient for institutions. Our solution simplifies this process through replaceable plant cartridges, an internal water reservoir, wick irrigation, and LED grow lighting. The system is designed so that non-expert users or facility staff can manage it with minimal effort. By reducing maintenance complexity, GreenModule aims to make indoor plants more practical, scalable, and sustainable for everyday indoor environments. The project combines functional design, modularity, and user convenience to support long-term adoption of indoor greenery.
