Hello
I am working on a project that regulates the water supply for plants. I work with the soil moisture sensor to measure the humidity. I'm looking for another water valve that can water very precisely, to a centiliter accurate. it is for exotic plants that need little water. I'm a novice with arduino, this is for my final project at school.
Someone who can help me?
Thank you in advance!

Water valves cannot measure the water that is released. Look for peristaltic pump that you can control. The amount of water is controlled by the number of turns of the pump motor.

Hello Paul
First of all, thanks for your reply.
Now that you're saying this, it makes a lot of sense. my reservoir is at the bottom of the flower pot and due to the pressure of the weight the water can flow out. it will indeed flow harder in the beginning than when the reservoir becomes army.
I will search for a peristaltic pump. if you already have experience with this, you may leave it awhile.
thanks!
