About this item

  • 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.

4 out of 5 stars
It works, kind of ...
The meter is actually pretty good easy to use and read, but in the right conditions. In normal house plant compost it works very well (the first picture), but ... In chunky, fast draining mixes (like for aroids), it doesn't (second picture). Both the plants are in the same size pots, and given the same amount of water, but as you can see from the pictures, the chunky mix registers dry(ish). My recommendation is that if your plants are in standard house plant mixes, this is a great device and value for money, and will certainly help you prevent over/under watering you plant babies. For chunky substrate mixes it's as useful as a chocolate teapot.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2024
    Item Package Quantity: 1Size Name: 26CMVerified Purchase
    I recently purchased the XLUX Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, and Hygrometer, and it has proven to be a very helpful tool for maintaining my plants' health. Here’s my detailed review:

    What I Like:
    - Accurate Readings: The moisture meter provides accurate and consistent readings. It helps me determine the precise moisture level in the soil, ensuring that I water my plants appropriately.
    - Easy to Use: The device is very user-friendly. Simply insert the probe into the soil, and the moisture level is displayed instantly. No batteries or complicated setup are required.
    - Clear Display: The analog display is easy to read, with clear markings that indicate whether the soil is dry, moist, or wet. This straightforward design makes it simple to understand the moisture status at a glance.
    - Versatile Use: The meter is suitable for a wide range of plants, both indoors and outdoors. I’ve used it for houseplants, garden beds, and even potted herbs, and it works well in all scenarios.
    - Durable Construction: The probe and overall construction feel sturdy and well-made. It has held up well to repeated use and insertion into different types of soil.

    What I Dislike:
    - Probe Length: The probe could be a bit longer for deeper pots or garden beds. While it’s sufficient for most indoor plants and smaller pots, it might not reach the root zone of larger plants or deep garden beds.
    - No Additional Features: The device measures only soil moisture. It would be more versatile if it included additional measurements like soil pH or light levels. However, for its intended purpose, it works perfectly.

    Value for Money:
    The XLUX Soil Moisture Meter offers good value for money. Its accuracy, ease of use, and durability make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their plant care routine.

    Conclusion:
    Overall, I am very satisfied with the XLUX Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Water Monitor, and Hygrometer. It provides reliable moisture readings and is incredibly easy to use. Despite minor limitations like the probe length and lack of additional features, it excels at its primary function of monitoring soil moisture. I would recommend this product to any plant enthusiast or gardener looking for a dependable tool to help maintain optimal watering practices.

    Would I buy it again? Yes!

    Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2024
    Item Package Quantity: 2Size Name: 26CM-YellowAmazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    At first, I looked for another digital moisture meter because they have a light so that I can see better. However, all of the 3 digital meters I tried gave incorrect readings. They were way off!
    So, finally I found these meters where the readings that they give me are correct! I feel So Fortunate!
    They are built in a satisfactory way for the price-point.
    They are about 7” - that is the measurement of the metal part that you stick in the soil. That is long enough to get to the bottom of a 6” pot or up to a 2 gallon pot. For my situation, I must read the moisture at the bottom of the pot because I have Super Sensitive Plants!
    Most of you will only need to put the meter 2” down in the soil to get a reading for if you should water.
    I will say that I have read about people saying that the moisture meter gave them different readings on both sides of the pot. It’s important to know that in order to have the pot register the same reading on both sides of the pot, make sure to water all around the pot evenly each time.
    Also, there is about a 2-3 second wait time for these meters to register the moisture correctly. This is because as you put the meter down into the soil, it may be dry at the top and affect your reading for a second or 2 lower in the pot. Or the opposite may happen when the top of the pot is wetter than it is farther down in the pot.
    I hope that these meters help you as much as they do me! They’re fantastic!
