Review: Keeps my plants happy and healthy for months - 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.
Review: Excellent probe - 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.

## 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: Can this be left permanently in the soil?**
A: No dont do that. As the probe needs cleaned every time its used .. i use a micro fibre cloth thats old and rough and that removes any thing thats left on the probe 😁

**Q: Hello, there are a bunch of plants missing from the list, e.g. anthurium. How do you deal with that?!**
A: I use the soil moisture meter on all plants, works fine.

**Q: Does this work on orchids growing in bark?**
A: i wouldn't think so, as the bark holds the moisture and you can't dip into a piece of bark as you would soil. (Only my opinion and  I may well be wrong!)

**Q: Would this work for my outside roses in tubs**
A: Works anywhere if you use it as a portable tester and just poke it in the soil. I would not consider leaving it in place outside though as the meter end does not look to be weather proof. I have also found that leaving these in place results in the probe end corroding away and rendering the meter useless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeping Your Plants Happy
*by D***. on 22 August 2024*

The XLUX Soil Moisture Meter is a super handy tool for anyone who loves plants, whether you're a newbie gardener or a seasoned pro. What makes it awesome is that it doesn’t need batteries, so you never have to worry about it dying on you. Just stick the probe into the soil, and you’ll get an instant reading on how wet or dry the soil is, which takes all the guesswork out of watering. It’s pretty versatile too—great for indoor plants, outdoor gardens, or even small farms. The readings are generally accurate, helping you avoid the dreaded overwatering or underwatering that can wreck your plants. Plus, it’s built to last, with a sturdy design that can handle regular use. On the downside, the probe might be a bit short for really deep pots, and the dial can be tough to read in dim lighting. But overall, if you want to keep your plants happy and healthy without much fuss, this moisture meter is a great pick.
