It would be really neat if someone made a sensor that could tell you whether your plant needs to be watered.

Pi picos are pretty good for iot projects like that. ESP are more power efficient, but a pi can be more self sufficient. I think it depends on the project.

The linked project recommended a Pi3 though.
