This is a standard meter that does what it says on the description . Useful for comparative measurements to gauge be an indication of moisture level.
Works well with my. Acti and succulents that are potted in specialist compost/ grit mixture .
Fabulous gadget, why didn’t I get one years ago. No more sticking a finger in my indoor or greenhouse plants. So so easy to use and read. Have bought two more for gardening friends
This is the 2nd meter I’ve purchased. It says ‘don’t leave in for more than an hour’. It DOESN’T say take reading after a few minutes. I returned the previous one [DIFFERENT MAKE] as “faulty” > > reading ‘very dry’ whatever the moisture. I thought it had to be inserted its full length & left it in for some time. LIVE & LEARN !!
Only had a week or so. We have used it to test soil moisture on 20 newly planted evergreen shrubs. As they cost over 200 and the need to keep well watered during the first year I thought, after reading the reviews to try this product. If it keeps working it will be the first one to do so.
I have to be careful not to hit anything hard when putting it into soil. It should go in a maximum of 6″ to give a fairly accurate reading. Rain does not water small pots much at all as soon dry out.
Really helpful to avoid stressing plants when too dry or waterlogged.
I don’t have particularly green fingers but generally manage to get by without my houseplants suffering too much. However as their pot sizes have increased I found it more difficult to regulate watering and a couple of them started showing signs of stress. I bought this wonderful, plant life-saving, device and all is now well. So simple to use and clear to read. I now get a clear reading on how wet the soil is deep in the pot and can water, or not, based on that rather than what the surface of soil is like. I think this little device has saved a number of my plants. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.
I found this very useful to quickly go around my houseplants and see which ones needed watering, instead of just watering everything in sight and consequently overwatering some.
Easy to read, quite a big spike for small pots but very pleased overall.
