Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, Hygrometer Sensor for Gardening, Farming, indoor and outdoor plants, No Batteries Required

I’ve had this soil moisture meter for six months now, and it’s been brilliant. I bought it because I wasn’t sure if my plants were getting the right amount of water, and it’s made a real difference. It’s very accurate and helps me make sure each plant is properly cared for. Some reviews mentioned it can get rusty, so my tip is to keep a dry kitchen towel handy. After testing each plant, I give the probe a quick wipe to make sure the next reading is correct and the meter stays in good condition. I also always store it somewhere dry. If you follow that, it should last a long time. I love how easy it is to use, and my plants definitely seem happier since I started using it. A really great little tool for anyone who wants healthy, thriving plants.

What a simple, effective tool. Why did I not get one before? Used on my pot plants it saves all the guesswork. I shall use it outdoors as well. Brilliant.

Great little soil moisture meter. Great value make watering our indoor plants less of a lottery

Looking exactly like the seller's own pictures, I ordered this product based upon the reviews of previous customers on Amazon. I have to say, those customers were right and I'm glad I followed their advice. This is so simple to use I wish I had known about it a long time ago. It isn't easy to judge whether plants really need watering, especially plants grown in pots and tubs. The surface compost might look and feel dry as a bone but half way down it could be waterlogged - and no doubt many of us have lost plants because of overwatering. This little device can put an end to that guesswork. Take a soft cloth or tissue and wipe the end, place it into the compost or soil, and immediately you will get a reading from red (very dry) to blue (very wet). An instant visual aid to know whether you need to water the plant. More than one plant to check? Take the product out of the plant pot, wipe the end again, place it into the next pot to get a reading from there. It only takes seconds (well, minutes if you have a lot of potted plants like I do) but at least you no longer have to guess and at least you are not likely to kill off a plant from overwatering. I am pleased I bought this and have used it numerous times - in fact, it has stopped me watering plants that I thought were dry and so likely saved them. Everyone with potted plants surely needs this product and I like the fact that it gives an immediate reading, unlike some others on the market that have to be left in the soil/compost for a while. Easy to recommend this.

Great product ! I have many house plants and some aren`t happy with being over watered. This gadget has saved plant lives! The length of the sensor stem is fine for house plants and gives a reading very quickly.

I’ve had lots of plants in my house for years and have never had an issue with watering them, even if I miss a week they’re very forgiving. However, strangely since Christmas, a few of them have been almost waterlogged and one plant in particular just doesn’t seem to dry out (it’s still alive and doing well). So I bought this little gadget which works a treat. Wipe the end of the probe with paper towel before inserting into the soil each time and it reads accurately. The plant I know was very wet immediately showed up as that on the easy to read display. I generally water my plants weekly so now by using this gadget if it tells me it’s “wet” then I just ignore that plant for that week. It’s been really helpful so thank you!

Excellent piece of kit. I was randomly killing plants by over watering. Since using this, everything is good. It still amazes me how a houseplant not watered for 4 weeks in a large pot still retains significant moisture. Prior to this device I would have happily watered again. Over a period of a couple of months the accumulated water would invariably rot the roots! Highly recommended!👍🏼😁👍🏼

If you are looking for a plant water monitor failure story, look no further. This gadget was useful for 6 months but despite meticulous care, it developed a complete and utter soil moisture sensor malfunction. What Possessed Me To Buy It I love plants. Unfortunately, I was not gifted with "green fingers." That’s why I bought the XLUX Soil Moisture Meter - I needed a technological translator to tell me if my Ficus was thirsty or just being dramatic. For six glorious months, it was a dream. My ferns were lush, and I walked around with the smug confidence of a person who actually understands the phrase "moist but well-drained." Then, the XLUX entered its "Goth Phase." Suddenly, every plant in my house was "Dry." I’m talking Sahara-at-high-noon dry. I’d read that the metal probes can oxidise, so I was a model citizen: I wiped it dry after every single use. I’ve inspected the tip for rust, and it’s as shiny as a new 20 pence piece. There is no physical evidence of decay - just a complete and utter loss of its will to live. Last night, I plunged the probe into my watering can. To my horror, I learned the water I had been supplying was apparently not wet! I understand people may have a difficult time trusting the word of someone who, by her own admission, has a poor track record with plants. But I have photographic evidence: the meter stays firmly on "Dry" even when submerged in a glass of water. To ensure this wasn't just a "user error" or a fluke, I conducted two cross checks. First I dried the probe thoroughly and placed it in a glass of water. Result dry. Then I did a Soil Cross-Check: I tested it in soil I had just saturated until it was muddy. Result: "Dry." I’ve checked the laws of physics, and I’m fairly certain the mud and the water in the glass should register as “wet”. Sadly, because I trusted this gadget more than my own common sense, a few more of my plants officially bit the dust. They didn't just die; they were drowned in a sea of good intentions, founded on the belief that they should be watered because the meter said they were parched. Pros: • No batteries needed: Great for the environment, unfortunately not so great for the plants. • Provides the unique service of alerting you when your water isn't wet. Cons: • Accuracy Issues: Does not believe in the existence of water • Durability Issues: Failed after 6 months, despite decent maintenance • Leaves a body count: My plant cemetery needs a new wing If you’re like me and were relying on this to compensate for a lack of gardening talent, be warned: you might be better off sticking your thumb in the soil to test it.

Works well and is of good help especially with bigger plants

Work well and takes the guesswork out of under or over watering. Highly recommend

Just a great little helper all around and does it's job nicely. Yup, if you don't have one, get one.

Accurately and quickly measures moisture deep in the soil.
