You traditionally don't really see a lot of plant-related technology at CES. After all, most of us are too busy doting over our shiny new gadgets to be bothered to keep house plants alive. PlantSense is looking to make the job of not killing plants a touch easier with its EasyBloom sensor. After all, the company points out, almost a third of the plants bought in the US every year (about $21 billion worth) die within the first year of their purchase.

Plug the EasyBloom into a pot and it will monitor soil conditions, temperature, and moisture. The device has a built in USB dongle which users plug into their computer after 24 hours worth of data collection. The company's site monitors the conditions and lets you know what plants will thrive in them.

The gadget is available now for $59.95 from Amazon, Brookstone, and other stores. Check out a video of the EasyBloom in action, after the jump.
