An easy to use moisture meter at home for houseplants, the garden, or the allotment.
Gives accurate and instant soil moisture readings for extra confidence when watering your plants with the high-quality sensing probe that is a single probe for less damage to roots.
No more overwatering or dry plants – simply check the meter and water when needed.
Ideal for houseplants, no batteries are required and lightweight and portable for carrying around.
Do not use it for testing water or other liquids as this is only designed to test soil, but not very hard soil as this could break the probe.
Do not use it to test very dry soil as readings will not be reliable.
To avoid corrosion, do not leave the soil probe for more than an hour.
For more accurate readings, wipe the tip of the probe with a cloth or paper before each use.
