Notes

Indoor smart gardens combine pumps, lights, and sensors to automate plant care. Repair is worth it when the issue is a pump, light module, or sensor that can be swapped.

Replace is more appropriate if the control electronics fail, if water damage affects multiple components, or if recurring pump issues make reliability and leak risk unacceptable.
