Six plants.
Six schedules.
One tank.

Each plant gets the amount of water it needs, on its own days. Set once in the app, then left alone.

First units ship in 2027. We'll email you once, when ordering opens.

The ezQua unit on a windowsill: a frosted cylindrical tank lit warmly from within, with six clear tubes running from its base to a succulent, a eucalyptus sprig and two potted pothos.

Most houseplants die of too much water, not too little.

The problem isn't that people forget. It's that one watering can treats a fern and a snake plant the same way.

45%

of houseplant deaths are caused by overwatering.

Set it up once.

No plumbing, no drilling, no soil sensors to calibrate. It sits on a shelf and runs from its own tank.

Place and fill

Set the unit near your plants, fill the 2.2 L tank, and run a silicone tube into each pot.

Pair over Wi-Fi

The device opens a temporary hotspot. Scan its QR code in the app and hand it your Wi-Fi details.

Name each plant

Assign each of the six valves to a plant, with a photo, an amount in millilitres, and a frequency.

Leave it alone

Schedules live on the device, so watering continues even if your Wi-Fi drops.

The app is the control panel.

A native iOS app, already built and working. Reservoir level, today's schedule and per-plant history in one place.

Every ezQua schedules all six valves at no extra cost. Care+ adds remote control of the second three valves, watering suggestions based on plant type and season, and Alexa, HomeKit and Google Home.

Who's building it

ezQua started in November 2023, when one of us came home from three months abroad to a flat of dead plants and found nothing on the market that would have saved them.

Software and electronics

The iOS app, firmware, board design and backend are built in-house by a PhD researcher in physics and complex systems, working in machine learning, simulation and numerical analysis.

Product and hardware

The enclosure, supply chain and brand are led by an award-winning product designer with a Master's in product design and nine years in the industry, including work with Intel and Airbus.

ezQua Inc. was incorporated in Ontario in April 2024 and is supported by Spring Activator, a Vancouver-based startup accelerator. Two prototype iterations are complete and the first production run is 300 units.

Questions

When can I actually buy one?

First units ship in 2027. The device is through two prototype iterations and is now in FCC and ISED certification. The waitlist is how you hear first, and the first production run is 300 units.

Do I have to pay the subscription?

No. Every unit schedules all six valves, sends low-tank alerts and takes firmware updates without a subscription, forever. Care+ adds remote control of valves 4–6, watering suggestions and smart home integration.

What if the Wi-Fi goes down while I'm away?

Schedules are stored on the device and run on its own microcontroller. Wi-Fi is needed to change a schedule, not to keep one.

Does it need plumbing?

No. It runs from its own 2.2 L tank, which you refill from a jug. It can also be connected to a water source if you'd rather not refill it.

How is it different from a timer drip kit?

A timer gives every plant the same water at the same moment. ezQua opens one valve at a time, for a set volume, per plant, and tells you when the tank is low.

Is there an Android app?

Not at launch. Android is on the roadmap for 2028.

Is it quiet?

It uses a silent diaphragm pump. It runs for seconds at a time, and it is meant to live in a room you sleep in.
