Proposal plan

As outlined in the sketch above, I would have made the plant out of felt and use muscle wires as the stems of the leaves. The leaves would be initially be droopy because of the weight of the felt. Once current goes through the muscle wire, the leaves would be pulled upwards, signaling a happy plant. Users would touch the pot, where there would be a capacitive touch sensor connected to an Arduino. Once the Arduino has received an input, it will apply more current to the muscle wire.
