EXCELLENT! I bought more one for every plant.
Buy these. I think they work great knock it right off right off. I’ve been using them for a month and I have one for every plant now because I think they are wonderful! It beats the heck out of sticking your finger into the plant every couple of days to see if it needs water yet. I saw some reviews that said they didn’t work. Mine have all worked, and they still work after a month. I probably have 30 plants and they each have one of these now. I just watered yesterday so I don’t have any that have turned white, but they do turn white when the plant gets dry.

Highly recommend better than finger in orchid bark
So far I love them. If they stop working after 6 months as in reviews. They need to replace the filter. Picture of dry then watered Orchid. Just stick in soil just blends in. I think it’s pretty accurate. Love they are made in Japan. Purchased small size.

I love these!!
I think other people with the negative comments about them not working, simply aren’t being patient enough or giving their plants enough water. Or are just flat out doing it wrong. Of course if you pour water directly on them, the little fiber turns blue almost instantly. But that is not how these should be used. Stick the thing in the soil (I put mine near the base of plant, not further away). Wait about 10 minutes to see if the color changes. If it doesn’t, you know you need to water your plant. But don’t add the water directly on to or next to the little meter. Instead, water on the opposite side of the plant. That way when it turns blue, you know it’s good because the water had to come across from the other side and passed by the roots. Just be sure to drain your excess water (for plant health, Obvs.) Since purchasing things, and doing it the right way, I’ve seen a bunch of new growth coming in on my plants because the guesswork is gone. I need to water once a week, and my plants are thriving. Don’t let negative reviews discourage you from purchasing. If you need a little help with knowing when your plants need to hydrate without jabbing your finger into the soil, get these. They are cheap, reliable, and easy to use. Just use them the right way 🤣

A product is actually does what it reports
This product works. It actually works. I'm a novice in the succlent world and one of my biggest problems has been proper watering and maintaining the moisture in my succulents I've tried all sorts of things but recently ordered some Sustee "aqua pens". They work. AMAZING . I'm so excited I'm tickled pink or maybe I should say tickled blue? Anyway it's a wonderful product I'm attaching some pictures. My confidence is growing leaps and bounds.

Sooo disappointed
It’s only been a month and it’s no longer “reading” accurately. This one has been out of soil over 24 hours and still reading moisture. Price point too high for it not to be working 30 days later.

Very Helpful indicators
When I first ordered these, I didn't realize that they came in small, medium and large. I also did not realize that they last 6-9 months. They do work well but I think they are expensive now that I realize they will stop working. New inserts are kind of expensive too. I think I will look for a longer lasting or more permanent alternative. I may look into purchasing the indicator that is used and try recharging them myself but maybe too much of a bother.

Worthless Junk
They turn blue, but only if you water after inserting them, and then they fail to turn white despite that the soil dries out. I looked closer at reviews and the vast majority of photos accompanying positive reviews show them installed improperly - too deep. Do not understand how anyone could give this junk a positive review.

Sustee Aquameter: The Sherlock Holmes of Plant Care!
I must confess, before the Sustee Aquameter entered my life, my relationship with my plants was a bit like a soap opera. There were dramatic overwaterings, tragic under-waterings, and a whole lot of guessing games. But then, like a horticultural superhero, the Sustee Aquameter swooped in to save the day! This little gadget is like the Sherlock Holmes of plant care. It delves into the dark, mysterious world of potting soil and emerges with the answers you need. Is your plant parched? Drowning? The Sustee Aquameter will let you know! The device is as simple to use as a toothpick at a cocktail party. Just stick it in your plant's pot, and wait for the color to change. Blue means your plant is as happy as a cactus in the desert, white means it's thirstier than a camel after a long trek. No more guesswork, no more drama, just straightforward, color-coded plant care. And let's talk about the design. Sleek, minimalistic, and with a pop of color, it's like having a tiny modern art sculpture in your plant pot. It's so stylish, even my fashion-conscious ferns have stopped throwing shade! But the best part? The Sustee Aquameter has turned me into the plant whisperer I've always aspired to be. My plants are thriving, and I've stopped killing them. It's a win-win! In conclusion, if you're tired of playing Russian Roulette with your watering can, give the Sustee Aquameter a try. It's the plant care companion you never knew you needed. Your plants will thank you, and you'll finally know what it feels like to have a green thumb!

Excellent produit
Très bonne surprise ! Ces indicateurs d’arrosage sont simples à installer et permettent de savoir rapidement si la plante a besoin d’eau. Plus besoin de se demander si l’on arrose trop ou pas assez, ce qui est particulièrement pratique pour les plantes d’intérieur. Le système fonctionne sans pile et ne demande aucun entretien particulier. La qualité de fabrication est au rendez-vous et le lot de 5 est idéal pour équiper plusieurs pots. Depuis que je les utilise, mes plantes sont en meilleure forme et je me sens beaucoup plus serein pour leur entretien. Un accessoire simple, efficace et vraiment utile. Je recommande sans hésiter !
