Plant, meet technology. Technology, meet plants.

The Clairy is a smart plant pot that is designed to help your indoor greenery suck in the pollutants in your home and spew out fresh air for you to breathe.

So far, so mother nature, but the Clairy connects to an app over wifi and provides a real-time look at what is floating around your air space, while also monitoring temperature and humidity within your home.

The aesthetics will not be to everyone’s taste – it looks a bit industrial – and the price may be a little too steep for what is essentially a plant pot even if it has some extra technology.

But it works out cheaper than buying a standalone air purifier with a connected app, so there is that to take into account.
