With this meter, you will know that sometimes though the top of the soil looks dry, just beneath the surface it's very wet--no wonder the plants are struggling. It's very easy to use, just stick it in the dirt and the dial instantly tells you whether the soil is dry, moist or wet. Steps Inset the probe of the meter to the plants' root level Note moisture level in the dial which has ten scales Remove probe from soil and wipe clean after each use Tips Avoid hard stones when inserting probe as they may damage the probe Never put this meter into water. For some very loose soil, the reading may be inaccurate Instant read--Don't leave it in the soil for more than 10 minutes for use Long Probe for deep use 5.5 inches longer than ordinary probes, designed for deeper flower pots or deeper use in the garden Features 1. Easy to read levels 2. No batteries needed 3. Indoor/outdoor use 4. Color coded reading system 5. Long probe for deep use Package Includes 1 x XLUX Moisture Sensor Meter 1 x Instruction manual Review: Perfect for olive trees – reaches the deep soil easily! - It appears to work very well. I have a large olive tree and it is really difficult to know if it is dry or not. While it is always easy to check the top of the soil, it is incredibly difficult to tell if the soil is still wet further down. This meter completely solves that problem and takes away all the guesswork. Plus, the gauge is nice and clear and easy to read! Review: Perfect for Large Pots and Deep Root Checks - I bought the 40cm version specifically for checking moisture levels in larger pots and planters, and it has been extremely useful. The long probe allows me to see what’s happening deeper down in the compost rather than just relying on how dry the surface looks. The meter is simple to use with no batteries required. The readings respond quickly and have helped me avoid both overwatering and underwatering my plants. I was surprised to find that some pots that looked dry on top were actually still quite moist deeper down. The build quality feels good, the probe is sturdy, and it’s especially useful for larger containers where judging moisture by eye is difficult. Since using it, I’ve been much more confident about when my plants actually need watering. A great little tool for any gardener, particularly if you grow plants in pots and containers. Highly recommended. 🌱👍 ## Features - Accurate Soil Moisture Detection: The XLUX Soil Moisture Meter can tell you if the soil deep inside your pot or garden is dry, moist or wet; whereas your eyes and fingers can only determine the moisture level of the soil surface. The probe is 5.5 inches (14 cm) longer than regular styles, allowing it to measure the soil moisture at the bottom of larger and deeper flower pots. - Easy-to-Read Large Dial: The large dial is easy to read and includes three zones with ten scales, making it very straightforward to understand. - Immediate Moisture Reading: Insert the probe into the soil, and without waiting, the dial will immediately display the moisture level. You can then decide whether your plant needs watering based on the measurement. Do not leave this moisture meter in the soil for more than 5 minutes, as the metal tip will gradually corrode. - Less Damage: A single probe causes less damage to plant roots compared to double or multiple probes, and when you remove the probe after testing, it won't bring out much soil. - Usage Precautions: Do not use it to test very hard soil. Do not test water or other liquids. After testing, please wipe the probe clean. - IMPORTANT: MEDIA DENSITY & POROSITY This meter is designed for standard potting soil. If you are using loose or airy media (such as pure perlite, pumice, pine bark, or orchid mix), the probe may not make sufficient physical contact with the substrate. Symptom: The dial remains at "0" or shows inconsistent readings even if the media is damp. Solution: Firmly pack or compress the media around the probe to ensure the sensor is in direct contact with the moisture-holding particles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B099R6BQHB | | Battery Description | No batteries required | | Battery description | No batteries required | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,884 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 4 in Soil Meters | | Brand | XLUX | | Colour | Green | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 12,138 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Fangtan Co., Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | T9178-001 | | Model Number | T9178 | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Mounting type | Tabletop | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 36 Degrees Celsius | | Upper temperature rating | 36 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Battery description:** No batteries required - **Brand:** XLUX - **Colour:** Green - **Item weight:** 0.13 Kilograms - **Mounting type:** Tabletop ## Images ![XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, indoor outdoor use, Battery-Free - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WwgKakqAL.jpg) ![XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, indoor outdoor use, Battery-Free - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JfU6QxP3L.jpg) ![XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, indoor outdoor use, Battery-Free - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mATPeUhXL.jpg) ![XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, indoor outdoor use, Battery-Free - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91G+71vhMKL.jpg) ![XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, indoor outdoor use, Battery-Free - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dNXIw7pvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Item Package Quantity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do the 0-10 tallies correlate to percentage? So is 2 equal to 20% moisture?** A: 2 is equal to 2% moisture **Q: If my plant falls under the 0-3 red category, does that mean I only water it when the meter indicates that’s where the soil is at?** A: Yes you want to keep your plant in the Red Zone, if you’re are getting passed the Red Zone (4-10) you are over watering. You don’t want to pass up 3 and don’t add water again until you reach 1 **Q: Has anyone found this guide off? some of the plants listed for the high moisture range are ones that all other guides say should be low?** A: I didn’t use the “guide”. My only reason for buying the item was to test the moisture in the soil. As far as the moisture differences in what this or that plant requires, I just Google it and research a little. **Q: I'm not sure i understand the guide on the back of the box for each plant. is it suggesting what the moisture should be for each plant? please elabor** A: As long as the needle on the tester goes up half way at least, then there is plenty of moisture. There is no set number for how much moister each type of plant needs. I have used one for at least 10 yrs and it has always kept things just right, as well as telling me when I need to water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for olive trees – reaches the deep soil easily! *by L***P on 24 May 2026* It appears to work very well.
