Review: Keeps my plants happy and healthy for months - 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.
Review: Simple practical tool - 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.

## 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.
- 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be left permanently in the soil?**
A: No dont do that. As the probe needs cleaned every time its used .. i use a micro fibre cloth thats old and rough and that removes any thing thats left on the probe 😁

**Q: Hello, there are a bunch of plants missing from the list, e.g. anthurium. How do you deal with that?!**
A: I use the soil moisture meter on all plants, works fine.

**Q: Does this work on orchids growing in bark?**
A: i wouldn't think so, as the bark holds the moisture and you can't dip into a piece of bark as you would soil. (Only my opinion and  I may well be wrong!)

**Q: Would this work for my outside roses in tubs**
A: Works anywhere if you use it as a portable tester and just poke it in the soil. I would not consider leaving it in place outside though as the meter end does not look to be weather proof. I have also found that leaving these in place results in the probe end corroding away and rendering the meter useless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and Easy-to-Use Soil Moisture Meter
*by P***. on 2 July 2024*

I recently purchased the XLUX Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, and Hygrometer, and it has proven to be a very helpful tool for maintaining my plants' health. Here’s my detailed review: What I Like: - Accurate Readings: The moisture meter provides accurate and consistent readings. It helps me determine the precise moisture level in the soil, ensuring that I water my plants appropriately. - Easy to Use: The device is very user-friendly. Simply insert the probe into the soil, and the moisture level is displayed instantly. No batteries or complicated setup are required. - Clear Display: The analog display is easy to read, with clear markings that indicate whether the soil is dry, moist, or wet. This straightforward design makes it simple to understand the moisture status at a glance. - Versatile Use: The meter is suitable for a wide range of plants, both indoors and outdoors. I’ve used it for houseplants, garden beds, and even potted herbs, and it works well in all scenarios. - Durable Construction: The probe and overall construction feel sturdy and well-made. It has held up well to repeated use and insertion into different types of soil. What I Dislike: - Probe Length: The probe could be a bit longer for deeper pots or garden beds. While it’s sufficient for most indoor plants and smaller pots, it might not reach the root zone of larger plants or deep garden beds. - No Additional Features: The device measures only soil moisture. It would be more versatile if it included additional measurements like soil pH or light levels. However, for its intended purpose, it works perfectly. Value for Money: The XLUX Soil Moisture Meter offers good value for money. Its accuracy, ease of use, and durability make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their plant care routine. Conclusion: Overall, I am very satisfied with the XLUX Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, and Hygrometer. It provides reliable moisture readings and is incredibly easy to use. Despite minor limitations like the probe length and lack of additional features, it excels at its primary function of monitoring soil moisture. I would recommend this product to any plant enthusiast or gardener looking for a dependable tool to help maintain optimal watering practices. Would I buy it again? Yes!
