## Description

desertcart.com: XLUX Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, Hygrometer Sensor for Gardening, Farming, Indoor and Outdoor Plants, No Batteries Required : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Valuable tool for keeping plants happy and thriving - Just received this moisture meter today. So far it works as stated by manufacturer and seller. This will be a valuable tool in my arsenal for happy house plants this winter, once my plants are brought back inside, to prevent over and underwatering. Once I unpacked it, I immediately went to testing it on plants I had just watered, those I knew needed to be watered and those I wasn't quite sure. In each case, it read correctly and I proceeded to water those that needed a good drink. This is a good product, with good value for the money, and is sturdy and accurate. I purchased the smaller of the two options, as most my house plants are in nothing bigger than a 14 inch pot. However, if you have large floor plants, in much larger pots, you may need the longer version. So, my advice is to get this, especially if you're a busy person who tends to neglect your houseplants or if you're someone who tends to overwater. This will save you time and help you keep your plants happy and thriving.
Review: Get this, easy to use and no batteries needed. - This thing is pretty cool and works too. Easier than having to replace batteries with others ones that I use to own. Happy to have this on hand .. not a bad price at all either.

## 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: Do the 0-10 tallies correlate to percentage?  So is 2 equal to 20% moisture?**
A: 2 is equal to 2% moisture

**Q: If my plant falls under the 0-3 red category, does that mean I only water it when the meter indicates that’s where the soil is at?**
A: Yes you want to keep your plant in the Red Zone, if you’re are getting passed the Red Zone (4-10) you are over watering. You don’t want to pass up 3 and don’t add water again until you reach 1

**Q: Has anyone found this guide off?  some of the plants listed for the high moisture range are ones that all other guides say should be low?**
A: I didn’t use the “guide”.  My only reason for buying the item was to test the moisture in the soil.  As far as the moisture differences in what this or that plant requires, I just Google it and research a little.

**Q: I'm not sure i understand the guide on the back of the box for each plant.  is it suggesting what the moisture should be for each plant? please elabor**
A: As long as the needle on the tester goes up half way at least, then there is plenty of moisture. There is no set number for how much moister each type of plant needs. I have used one for at least 10 yrs and it has always kept things just right, as well as telling me when I need to water.
