XLUX 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.

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.

The meter is actually pretty good easy to use and read, but in the right conditions. In normal house plant compost it works very well (the first picture), but ... In chunky, fast draining mixes (like for aroids), it doesn't (second picture). Both the plants are in the same size pots, and given the same amount of water, but as you can see from the pictures, the chunky mix registers dry(ish). My recommendation is that if your plants are in standard house plant mixes, this is a great device and value for money, and will certainly help you prevent over/under watering you plant babies. For chunky substrate mixes it's as useful as a chocolate teapot.

This probe was excellent with its compact but accurate use. Since I started using it I have avoided under or overwatering my plants leading to better survival rates.

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.

I’ve just received this and used it once, got an immediate reading. I realise I’ve been under-watering my plants - I know Ive been over-cautious after nearly losing a precious plant I’ve had for 40 years to over-watering. I wish I’d bought it years ago! Highly recommended!

Great little water meter, quick and easy to use

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.

Buen producto, hace su funcion y entrega rapida.

Passar bra i växthuset om man odlar i lådor tackvare den långa sånden. Utan den är det svårt att veta hur fuktig jorden är I botten.

Werkt perfect

Ich habe von Zimmerpflanzen keine Ahnung und ich habe auch keinen grünen Daumen, aber ich habe mir eine Bougainvillea angeschafft, die ich mir schon länger gewünscht habe, weil ich ihre Blütenpracht so faszinierend schön finde. Seit einigen Wochen darf ich sie nun bereits bewundern, aber sie hat wohl nach dem Stress des Lieferungsprozesses einen großen Teil Blüten und Blätter abgeworfen. Inzwischen treibt sie kräftig, jedoch leider ohne neue Blüten anzusetzen. Ok, ich habe mich informiert und demnach ist unsere Bougainvillea zu feucht. Die Pflanze steht in einem Gemisch aus Erde und Substrat, die Oberfläche schaut trocken aus, auch wenn ich den Finger hineinsteckte fühlte es sich sehr trocken an. Dann habe ich entdeckt, dass es speziell für Pflanzen Feuchtigkeitsmesser gibt und diesen hier aufgrund der guten Rezensionen bestellt. Das war genau richtig, denn sonst hätte ich meine blühende Schönheit wohl bald kaputtgepflegt. Das Messgerät kommt ohne Batterien oder ähnliches aus, es wird einfach in den Boden bzw Pflanztopf eingesteckt, binnen Sekunden wird die jeweilige Feuchtigkeit angezeigt. Anders als ich vermutet hatte, bleibt das Messgerät aber nicht in der Pflanze, es muss immer wieder schnell entnommen werden, dann abgewischt und außerhalb der Pflanze verbleiben, denn sonst würde die Messeinheit wohl korrodieren. Ich war hochgradig irritiert, wir hatten im Bereich der Bougainvillea zT sehr hohe Temperaturen und ich habe sie vor mehr als 8 Tagen zuletzt gewässert und dennoch zeigte mir die Anzeige, dass zuviel Feuchtigkeit im Boden ist. Das war auch bei unseren anderen beiden Pflanzen der Fall. Ich war genauso überzeugt, dass unsere Glücksfeder trocken sein müsste von meinem Gefühl ausgehend, aber nein, sie war ebenfalls leicht zu feucht. Ohne die Anzeige durch dieses Messgerät hätte ich dies nie bemerkt und unseren Pflanzen somit nicht gut getan. Ich möchte dieses Messgerät nicht mehr missen wollen. Für Laien, die sich mit Zimmerpflanzen kaum auskennen, ist diese Hilfe besonders empfehlenswert, denn es schenkt Klarheit darüber, ob die Pflanzen wirklich Wasser benötigen.Das Gerät ist sehr leicht, wirkt gut verarbeitet und ist auch gut ablesbar. Also absolute Kaufempfehlung für diesen nützlichen Helfer.
