Hi- We use zipcode for local growing zones, climate, hourly weather and instantaneous solar position. If you are not in the United States, your sensor will NOT WORK. It's not acceptable to substitute a "similar" zipcode, as this will not take into account growing zones, and most importantly your sun readings will be wrong. Sorry, but currently EasyBloom ONLY WORKS IN THE UNITED STATES. Edith

HI Holly- When you look at the "Plant View" tab, what does your data look like? If it's moist, you should clearly see it there. If on the Plant View it says "no data", it means you're not connecting the soil sensor properly. Hope this helps Edith

EasyBloom has capacity for ~3 weeks. If you record for 36 hours, we'll collect more data. For a "monitor" reading, you should leave the EasyBloom on until the plant needs water (depending on the plant, 3 days to 3 weeks).

Hi Amy- The EasyBloom is water-resistant, and you can leave it outside. However, if you have a sprinkler many sprinkler jets emit horizontal streams of pressurized water that can potentially penetrate the air intake's protective membrane and damage the sensor's circuitry.

Hi Barbara- Yes, we have ongoing projects to add more plants. We just added 400+ plants from Proven Winners. Here are a few examples--- http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/plant/beauty-bush http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/plant/rose-6 Gorgeous! Also, in the Plant Library, you can get a quick snapshot of the most recently added plants http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/overview.html Thanks!

We just added Bearss Lime... check it out at http://easybloom.com/plantlibrary/plant/bearss-lime

We're currently working on improving this area. If you're interested in giving more detailed feedback on this feature, please send an email to Edith@plantsense.com Edith Harbaugh Product Manager, PlantSense
