XLUX Long Probe Plant Soil Moisture Meter, Indoor Outdoor use, Battery-Free

This product is great to determine if you need to water your plants - easy to mount - stable - prevents over watering - recommend.

I like this soil moisture meter very much. My plants have done much better since I began regularly measuring moisture before watering. I tend to overwater. I am glad I bought it and it works well. Easy & fast.

Seems pretty accurate on all of my plants. I checked 2 that I transplanted yesterday and what watered well to verify the accuracy of the moisture content and it was pretty accurate. I like that it is long enough to check my large planters, as well. Simple to use, portable, no batteries needed... what's not to like?!

Not digital, not exact, not expensive, but provides enough information to prevent over watering or under watering of potted and planted bushes, shrubs and vegetables.

This is a great device that takes the guess work out of when to water your plants. Sticking my finger into the dirt only gets me maybe 2” down which is not a true test. I have many new perennials and shrubs planted this summer and they need water but NOT overwatering to prevent root-rot so this device is perfect. I can deep water and then be certain about how long the moisture level is holding the plantings. It’s also great for checking the moisture levels around fern garden and my precious tomatoe plants — especially during hot weather periods when it’s very hard to know when to water. I will use this for years!

Works great & easy as well. Readable, appears durable. Kept in box when not in use. Highly recommend this item

The moisture probe works great. I carry it around as I water my plants to ensure I don’t overwater. I do wish the top was tilted back a bit as when pushing the probe deeply into the ground it is hard to read. One must bend over almost to the ground to read it. I tested the probe by inserting it into bagged soil, a newly watered plant/tree, and a pot of soil that was dry with a fake plant in it. It read as expected so I trust it now. The price is good, particularly for two (so I keep one in the garage and the other in the shed), and as of now the durability is perfect, although I do not leave it in the ground or in direct sun. The probe goes into the ground well without much difficulty, and I’m pleased with the purchase.

I absolutely love this moisture meter. I was having problems with blossom rot and leaf curl on my greenhouse peppers, and I was never sure when and how much to water them. Now every morning, I check them with the meter and water when it tells me to. It's made a world of difference. I thoroughly recommend this product.

Me habia comprado antes un medidor digital, muy chulo con una pantalla donde te indica los datos pero nada fiable, siempre me daba una humedad un 30% superior a la real. Este en cambio me ha parecido super fiable y mucho mas barato. Menos es mas a veces!

يؤدي الغرض من معرفه كميه الرطوبه الداخليه ويجب مراعاه ان يترك داخل التربه لمده خمس ثواني حتى تكون القراءة ثابته ومستقره وليس مباشره وايضا يجب اخذ اكثر من قراءه في الأحواض الكبيره واخذ المتوسط بينها لاختلاف أشكال الأصيص وايضاً تجمع الجذور في اي منطقه منه

I bought the 40cm version specifically for checking moisture levels in larger pots and planters, and it has been extremely useful. The long probe allows me to see what’s happening deeper down in the compost rather than just relying on how dry the surface looks. The meter is simple to use with no batteries required. The readings respond quickly and have helped me avoid both overwatering and underwatering my plants. I was surprised to find that some pots that looked dry on top were actually still quite moist deeper down. The build quality feels good, the probe is sturdy, and it’s especially useful for larger containers where judging moisture by eye is difficult. Since using it, I’ve been much more confident about when my plants actually need watering. A great little tool for any gardener, particularly if you grow plants in pots and containers. Highly recommended. 🌱👍

Very curious results in the beginning which we thought were showing us that our pots were overwatered - following this we did not water the pots for many days. However, after getting many "wet" results from pots we checked the soil and it was it was dry. Not only this but borders that were soaked by us we checked them half an hour later and they showed as completely dry - not even moist. I live in the UAE and I suspect that either this device is defective or it's not working properly in such warm environment.

No idea why it to so long for me to find these! Absolutely fantastic tool. You can look at the pot with a dry crust and be convinced it needs watering 2 seconds later nope it’s wet. Check with a finger and confirm roots don’t need more water today. Quick and easy too.
