- a trimmer 100k
- resistor 10k
- resistor 1k
- a led (i use a flash led)
- small battery 3.6v
- 2 stainless steel probes
Circuit Diagram
you can use most of pnp transistor and N-channel mosfet..
you can adjust the sensitivity with the trimmer

Solder the Parts
add a 3 pin connector for the battery
Build It
place the probes on a plastic with hot glue
place the pcb
- you can add a test switch between the probes
- add a nice box for the circuit
- you can recharge the battery (i dont know when)
End
when the plan need water the led flashing (if you use flashing led)
