XLUX Soil Moisture Meter (Since 2015) - Durable 304 Stainless Steel Probe & Virgin ABS - Instant Read Hygrometer for Garden, Indoor & Outdoor Plants (Upgraded Design)

Works great! Plants a bunch of new plants. This is a great way to gauge if they need water or not so you don’t over water them.

The XLUX moisture meter is easy to use and gives quick, reliable readings that make watering plants much less of a guessing game. Just stick it in the soil, and the dial clearly shows whether it’s dry, moist, or wet. It doesn’t need batteries, feels sturdy, and works well for both indoor and outdoor plants. A super handy tool for keeping plants healthy and avoiding overwatering.

A very simple, basic product. No electronics, no moving parts. Just stick the metal rod into the plant soil (I usually check in two or three different spots) and it tells you on the dial how dry or moist the soil is. Some plants don't like the soil to ever get dry, other plants should definitely be allowed to dry out before being watered, so you need to know about your particular plant to fully benefit from this product. This moisture meter does prevent overwatering (which is a frequent cause of root rot and plant death). My only negative note is that the meter seems a bit fragile: I dropped one on the floor and although it looked fine, it stopped working (it would always read totally "dry"). I think the probe got disconnected from the meter inside the plastic top as a result of the impact sustained when it hit the floor. That's why I bought a second one.

Works like a charm. Quick readout and makes gardening so much easier

Easy to use. No batteries necessary. Accurate reading

This little meter works perfectly, I use it before I water my plants to see if they need it and my plants are thriving

I recently got the XLUX Soil Moisture Sensor Meter for my gardening, and it's been pretty interesting and easy to use. It does its job well, giving accurate moisture readings, which helps me keep my plants happy. For the price, it's definitely a decent buy. The sensor is straightforward and user-friendly, making it simple to check the soil moisture levels quickly. It’s been a helpful addition to my gardening toolkit, ensuring my plants get the right amount of water. However, it does feel a bit cheap to the touch, and I'm concerned about its durability. It seems like it could break easily, especially when cleaning off the dirt after use. Despite this, it’s a good value for the price and does what it’s supposed to do. Just handle it with care!

Quite helpful in preventing overwatering houseplants. Just keep the probe clean after each use and this will probably outlast you.

so handy to have

Very happy with these no battery, no fuss moisture sensors for pot plants. So easy to use, just insert into the pot plant's soil, watch meter response for soil moisture content, remove and wipe probe tip clean with a soft cloth or paper towel. I've given one to a friend who has pot plants and usually kills them! The instructions don't say how far to insert the probe into the soil but I reckon at least an inch to get an accurate idea of how moist the soil is. If there's resistance, you may damage roots, so probe gently or try another spot. The top layers will dry out more quickly than further down, and make sure the pot is not sitting in water or the roots may rot. It's important to clean and dry the metal probe after soil testing, or it may rust. I found the meter to be very responsive as soon as I inserted the probe into soil. As you can't replace the battery, I have no idea how it will last before you will need to replace the whole item, which is not very environmental in the long term. There is a Plant Watering Guide on the box with a long list of plant names - some I am familiar with, but many I'm not - they're most likely plant names that are familiar to Chinese gardeners (item made in China), but not to many Aussies.

Works well and is of good help especially with bigger plants

Funciona bien, lo estoy utilizando y cumple su función, es importante limpiar la punta antes de usarla, para que sea precisa la lectura

Lecture claire. Efficace. Je ne pourrais m'en passer.
