Capacitive sensors are essential to promoting modernization and intelligence in agriculture. With the continuous advancement of this sensor technology, the demand for materials with high conductivity and flexibility is rapidly increasing. Herein, we introduce liquid metal as a solution for the in-site fabrication of high-performance capacitive sensors for plant sensing. As a comparison, three pathways have been proposed for the preparation of flexible capacitors inside plants, as well as on their surfaces. Specifically, concealed capacitors can be constructed by directly injecting liquid metal into the plant cavity. Printable capacitors are prepared via printing Cu-doped liquid metal with better adhesion on plant surfaces. A composite liquid metal-based capacitive sensor is achieved by printing liquid metal on the plant surface and injecting it into the interior of the plant. While each method has limitations, the composite liquid metal-based capacitive sensor provides an optimal trade-off between signal capture capability and operability. As a result, this composite capacitor is chosen as a sensor for monitoring water changes within plants and demonstrates the desired sensing performance, making it a promising technology for monitoring plant physiology.
