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.

Product Description

The XLUX soil moisture meter tells you, instantly, whether the plants need water. With this tool, you will know that sometimes though the top of the soil looks very dry, just beneath the surface it's very wet -- no wonder the plants are struggling. It's very easy to use, just stick it in the soil and the dial instantly tells you whether the soil is dry, moist or wet.
Tips


Step 1
Gently wipe the probe's tip with a paper towel or cloth 5-10 times.
Step 2
Then insert it into the soil.
Step 3
Wait for approximately one second. Note moisture value in the dial.
Step 4
Remove the soil meter from the soil and wipe the probe clean.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2025Item Package Quantity: 1Size: 26CMVerified PurchaseThe long probe water/moisture meter has truly saved the lives of my plants! Just when I thought I was an experienced plant parent, I discovered that some of my plants needed more water, as indicated by the finger test, while others required less, based on their soil type. So, I ordered both the long and short probe water meters, and they have made a significant difference in the health of my plants.
These meters offer great value for the money. They are easy to read, of excellent quality, and their sizes and designs are perfect for all types of plants.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned plant enthusiast, I highly recommend these water meters!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Item Package Quantity: 1Size: 26CMVerified PurchaseI needed this to take readings of the moisture levels in my backyard. I had just had the yard landscaped into three separate sections: the lawn area, an area for vegetables, and an area for fruit trees and flowers. This device works well but I do wish that the indicator window was easier to read. If the dial and window were slanted upwards instead of facing forward, it would be easier to read without stooping down.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025Item Package Quantity: 1Size: 26CMVerified PurchaseI have over 50 houseplants and water them all once a week. Of course, it is inevitable that some will need more frequent watering and some less. And then there is always that plant you will kill by overwatering. But, with this moisture meter, you will instantly know if the soil is too dry or too moist. When I tested my plants there were some surprises. For example, one plant that I thought was dying because it was too dry, was actually overwatered. I really didn't know what to expect from this gadget, it was kind of an impulse purchase. But I am pleasantly surprised at how it works and glad I ordered it.
