Embodiments of the disclosed technology are directed to methods, systems, and/or apparatuses for monitoring and maintaining hydration levels in plants. The technology employs a base onto which a plant is placed. The base may have a built-in scale, as well as a spout for dispensing water. The spout may be coupled to a water supply via a pump. The scale may be coupled to a processor used to weigh the plant, detect fluctuations in weight, and/or to initiate/cease dispensing of water to the plant based on detected parameters. A leak sensor may also be incorporated into the spout for cutting off the water supply upon detection of possible over-watering. The base may also have an input for facilitating user control over the irrigation frequency and dosage.
