Costa Farms is a third-generation, family-owned group of companies headquartered in beautiful Miami, Florida (aka, plant paradise!).

The company sprouted in 1961 when the founder, Jose Costa Sr., purchased 30 acres south of Miami to grow fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes in the winter and calamondin citrus in the summer. That soon morphed into houseplants, and the Costa Farms family started innovating and introduced new houseplants such as the canela tree, orchids, and Cecilia Aglaonema. Costa Farms sells to big box stores such as Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe’s.

Pain PointIt’s time consuming, costly, and difficult for growers to measure and regulate pH throughout the day and across the lifecycle of a plant. Indeed, pH levels are one of the key factors in plant health. Furthermore, pH levels in the water and nutrient streams change constantly. To increase plant health via nutrient uptake in turn promoting higher yield, pH needs to be more closely monitored and adjusted in real time.

The Solution…Microsoft Azure IoT Hub with pH sensor devices on hydro water systems testing correct pH levels. We used the Adafruit Feather M0 Wifi and pHSensor, Microsoft Azure and IoT Hub, Stream Analytics, Event Hub, Azure Functions, messaging via Twilio and SQL Azure.
