This digital moisture meter is an indispensable tool for the inexperienced plant keeper as well for those who have trouble with the subjectivity involved in judging the moisture content of their potting soil. It takes away the subjectivity and the need for judgment. The product came with a long list of the many common houseplants and their water needs. The water needs of the plants are given on a scale starting from one. The higher the number, the higher the water requirements of the plant. For example, Anthurium has a been given a number 8 on the scale. This means you must keep the soil moist at all times for your Anthurium. The plant list also gives suggestions on how often to check the soil moisture for each plant. Every three days for some plants while others are less frequent. The meter and the chart together make a powerful combination that will help you keep your plants alive.
A very skilled horticulturists may not need a digital moisture meter but most of us who have killed houseplants before and could not figure why, this is an indispensable tool. Do your plants a favor and get this moisture meter. Your plants will thank you for it if they could only talk. As a matter of fact, if your plants could talk, they would beg you to get a digital moisture meter.
The device is easy to use. Insert the metal probe deep into the soil. At least halfway. Probe different areas of the pot until you get used to it. Do not be surprised if different probing locations give different readings. The deeper you probe the higher the readings. Water follows gravity after all and it is logical that the soil at the bottom will have more moisture. Keep the probe clean between plants to get accurate measurements. Clean the probe after each use. You can use a kitchen paper towel or a small face towel to wipe the metal probe clean. Water the plant only if the readings you get are below the number given for the specific plant. To use Anthurium as an example, water only if the reading you got is below the required moisture level of 8. If the probe reads 8 or above, do not water. Water the plant thoroughly but do not leave the runoff at the bottom catch tray. Throw away the excess water that collected at the bottom tray.
This is an excellent product that can save you a lot of grief. Highly recommended.
The manufacturer's packaging clearly states it "includes watering guide and special needs table for over 150 plants". It did not. There was NO other information included with this device. I went online and found the guide someone had posted as a pdf and you know the drill there. Then I took a look inside the battery compartment and just as promised, the "batteries were included". Of course, the packaging doesn't say the batteries will be "good"! And they weren't. These three little batteries will set you back a few more dollars and the inconvenience that goes along with shoddy shipping performance.
After installing the new batteries, the damn thing still did not work! I jarred it a bit in my palm and the LCD screen opened with numbers so I guess I managed the thing with the right amount of "thump"! It doesn't cost enough to warrant the aggravation of returning it and all that rig-a-ma-role so I'm pretty much stuck with it.
I would love to give this thing a "no star" rating but one star is as low as you can go. Good luck to you if you decide to buy from this company; particularly this particular shipper.
