I agree it's not trivial project. I used to try many solutions based on water sensors, pumps, etc. It is difficult for many reasons: quality sensors, water distribution systems (especially challanging when you have 30+ plants scattered all over the house), individual requiremets for water of each plants.

Finally I gave up and bought electronic-less solution:

It has been working for over 5 years supplying water for over 30 plants.
