Roly-Poly Pot is a pot that tumbles over when the plant is thirsty. 

Roly-Poly Pot is a round-bottomed plant pot that uses a balancing system to alert the user when the plant requires water. The base accommodates a chamber for the collection of water that filters through the soil upon watering, as well as a counterbalancing weight, which can be set up according to the amount of water the plant needs. As time goes by, the pot starts to tilt. With just at a glance, the user is able to immediately realise that it is time to water their plant and restore the balance.
