This questionnaire is designed to investigate common problems in indoor plant care and collect user requirements for a smart cultivation system. The system aims to support automatic watering, light compensation, sunlight optimisation, and tilt safety protection for small-scale indoor or laboratory planting. All responses will only be used for academic project analysis.
1. Q1. What is your identity? Undergraduate student Postgraduate student Staff / Teacher Laboratory user Other
2. Do you have experience caring for indoor plants? Yes, I currently have indoor plants No, and I am not interested Yes, I had indoor plants before
3. Where do you usually place indoor plants? Bedroom / Dormitory Office Laboratory Balcony / Window side Classroom / Public area
4. How often do you forget to water your plants? Rarely Often Very often
5. Have your plants ever suffered from overwatering or underwatering? Yes No Sometimes, but not bad
6. What is the main reason for irregular watering? Busy schedule Forgetting the correct watering time Unclear plant water requirement
7. Do you think indoor plants often receive uneven or insufficient sunlight? Agree Neutral Disagree
8. In your indoor environment, when is light usually insufficient? Morning Afternoon Evening / Night Cloudy or rainy days The room is usually bright enough
