Soil Moisture Meter, Plant Moisture Meter Indoor & Outdoor, Hygrometer Moisture Sensor Soil Test Kit Plant Water Meter for Garden, Farm, Lawn (No Battery Needed)

During the recent heat wave, the soil moisture meter was very handy. We have a number of garden beds and have quite a few hanging baskets and plants in pots. Not having to water them saves time and water. The meter made watering much more efficient and better for the plants - over watering can be just as bad as under watering.The meter is easy to use, accurate and an excellent value. It's now a vital member of our garden tool set.

We keep this in our plant that is very sensitive to overwatering. It helps us know when it is actually time to water. It seems to be accurate since our plant is thriving. The color is complementary to sitting in the pot with the plant. Seems to be good quality. We have had it for months now and it is still working properly. We live in the PNW and the humidity doesn’t seem to effect it’s readings.

A friend recommended this soil moisture meter after I complimented her on how healthy her plants looked, and now I totally get why! I have houseplants in just about every room, and it turns out I was loving them a little too much with water. This little tool has completely changed the way I care for them.The design is super simple-no batteries, no charging, just stick it into the soil and it gives you an instant reading. The meter read is quick, accurate, and easy to understand. I use it once a week when I do my plant check-in and watering. It’s been spot-on accurate and has taken all the guesswork out of plant care.The build quality is great- sturdy and durable without being bulky. For the price, this is such a great value. I truly believe my plants are thanking me. They’ve never looked better. If you love houseplants but struggle with knowing when to water, this tool is a game changer!

Bought this in Dec. 2023. It still works and seems to be fairly accurate for peaty and loamy type soils. Discovered that with an orchid mix of mostly bark and moss that it will register as dry 2 on the scale even though there is moisture. It has saved me from overwatering yet now cautious about the dry reading with the orchid mix. It’s a heads-up for checking and will look closely at the roots and bark using clear pots for orchids before watering. Always wipe the tip before and after using the meter. Otherwise it is worth the money.

I love this plant moisture meter. It’s a really simple design, requiring no battery or electronics; you simply insert the probe into the potting soil of a houseplant & it tells you how moist or dry the soil is. I’ve had other moisture meters, but like this one the most. I just water my plants when the indicator tells me they need it. Couldn’t be simpler. The only thing you really need to know when using this is the proper moisture level for each of your plants. My shamrock plant requires frequent watering, but my cactus & aloe plants do not. Very happy with the price & the meter!

This is about a foot long and detects water in soil well. My plants have been doing much better since I started using it to guide when I water my indoor plants. It's easy to use and durable. Worth it!

bought two of them and one is still barely working, but almost dead, the other is history! used minimally and as directed, cleaning the point off after each use. Since this original post, GOUVEN contacted me and offered to send me replacements, even after I messaged them telling them it was probably my fault due to leaving in pot with soil in it. Do not leave in a pot, do not put in water, only use as a meter to determine your plants needs and then clean the tip after use. Great communication and assistance from their customer service team.

Initial test of various garden soil depths appear to show this to be a usable product for the purpose.
