I don't own an arduino, but will buy one for this drop. Is there a minimum arduino that we should buy to make sure this works? I was looking at the arduino 101

swirle13I personally would suggest an Arduino Uno, Redboard, or adafruit metro. the 101 is WAY overboard for this task (All this is doing is watering a plant). also 101 is not 100% compatible to the Uno libraries. (something to keep in mind)
For more advanced project, sure, 101 is great! but for this, I personally will stick with an Atmega 328 based board. and running it off a Solar panel and battery.
Happy making!

SloboogerI want one for universal use in the future, this will just be a project. Not going to have a dedicated arduino attached to this for the rest of eternity. I want to use the arduino for other projects as well.

swirle13i would expect it to work, just a real time clock, soil moisture, and a motor libraries. I wouldnt expect those to be incompatible. :-) worst case, you modify the libraries to work, or find arduino 101 libraries to work.
