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

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.

Long probe makes the thermometer easy to use and effective for plants in large pots. I use the thermometers to help water outdoor garden flowers, too, and they work perfectively.

Finally, an inexpensive probe that actually works and is easy to use! I have tried others and had no confidence in what they were telling me as they seemed to always be stuck at the same low moisture setting. Whether because of the deep probe or the specific sensor, this meter clearly responds to the different moisture states in my planters so I can have some confidence in the reading. I consider this a great purchase that lets me water when needed and keeps me from overwatering. It is easy to use and very portable so I can use it indoors and outdoors. I will do my part to take care of it and hope it lasts a long time.

It seems to work well. I haven't used it many times yet but so far it seems to be good at rating humidity level. It's quite easy to read and will help go keep me from over or under watering.

I love this water meter and I'm so happy I got the longer stem. This long stem makes is so easy to check my large plants and go deep into the soil to check for any water. I tend to over water and have killed so many plants so I am hoping this helps me keep my plants healthy!

Definitely helpful. No sticking my finger into the soil. Gives me a sense of when to water. Works as expected. Easy to use and read meter. Use on outdoor potted seasonal flowers and plants.

I’ve planted so many new trees, flowers, and shrubs the last few years and want to make sure they survive. The challenge is that a lot of them have the same reaction when they have too much water as when they don’t get enough. This little tool has allowed me to target my watering by being able to quickly figure out if they actually need water or not! It pokes into the ground (even clay) easily and the gauge is simple to read. My plants are thriving and I realized my guesses were usually the opposite of the actual soil conditions. Save yourself money, time, and effort and get this. So worth it!!

This thing works great, though people should know its fragile. I dropped it and it broke entirely. Not shattered just stopped working. Will be buying again to replace.
