Long Probe Soil Moisture Meter

Love this product & this brand. I tried a few others & I like this ones long probe & that the probe isn't as thick as some other brands. Easy to use & takes the guess work out of whether to water a plant or not. Many people suggest chopsticks as alternative but I like this much better. Works well, inexpensive, accurate, & will definitely keep you from over or under watering your plants. Your plants will thank you.

Simple and it works

One of the easiest best tools for plant lovers! It's a no-brainer! One stab told me I was over watering all my plants. I was wondering why leaves were turning and whole pieces were falling off. This makes it easy to know. Very durable.

I tried this out on one of my plants that was showing distress from lack of watering, yet this meter didn’t show that the soil was dry. I watered the plant, the plant perked up, so I don’t know whether or not to trust this.

I have nothing to base this product against so it’s my first venture of testing moisture in soil beyond a finger scratching of the top layer of dirt. The reason I bought this as I have very narrow pots with quite lush foliage. It is impossible for me to check the soil without damaging the plant…. So I’d just water weekly. This device works almost immediately and I know it’s not showing random results of moisture as I have “tricked” and tested it. It’s extremely easy to use, almost too easy to think it can be reliable as well. It comes with a cheat sheet with the type of plant related to amount of water it needs — I don’t use cuz I don’t know my plants real names … there’s no plant name Baby on it…

I used this to measure moisture level for our larger citrus plants. good reading. picked this over digital version since this one doesn't need batteries.

Super! It works! Thanks for shipping quickly!

I'm pretty sure this is accurate although I'm not completely convinced -- yet. I'll update if I discover it's not accurate enough to be worth purchasing. But so far, it seems to adequately measure the amount of soil in the planters. The only reason I hesitate is stating it is 100% accurate is that yesterday I measured a catnip plant and it indicated the highest amount of moisture. Today I came out onto the patio to discover the catnip plant was nearly completely wilted. To be fair--we had a lot of wind, that afternoon after measuring as well as overnight and up to time I discovered the plant wilted. It was also in the sun... so it's very likely the soil dried out. I watered it well and the catnip plant recovered. I like the extra long probe. The meter is easy to read. It's simple to use -- no batteries needed. I'm going to purchase another one to keep in the lower yard so that I don't have to run back and forth all the time. It's reasonably priced. I have no reason not to recommend this meter.

To be honest I had doubts purchasing this item or any other item of this type-I mean moisture meter with no battery power. Then I decided to try it because it is really difficult to guess the moisture levels in the house flowerpot, especially the large ones. The package arrived on time as advertised. The meter works very well, and the probe is really long and can reach the root levels of the largest pot I have. It's quite accurate I may add and gives the readings quickly. I don't keep it in the soil at all times and wipe it after use to prevent corrosion. Very good value for the prize!

Works as advertised. I no longer need to guess the water levels in my potted plants especially the larger ones

Good quality. Like that it's an instant read. Has a longer shaft good for deep pots.

Was going to buy a more expensive electronic one but I decided against it. I don’t want to mess around with batteries and electronic things are more apt to stop working properly. This probe was spot on for my plants’ soil. I knew which were on the wet side, moist, and dry and this probe confirmed what I knew. Now I don’t need to do the finger test anymore and get dirt in my nails and just quickly use this probe instead. It isn’t sophisticated but it works and that’s what matters to me.

Fonctionne très bien. Idéal pour les pots profonds.
