Soil PH Tester, Soil PH Meter, 3-in-1 Plant Moisture Meter, Light and PH Tester Kits, Soil Hygrometer Sensor for Gardening, Farming, Indoor and Outdoor Plants, Soil Test Kit for Garden

I needed one of these for quick assessment. Moisture it seems spot on. It’s great for house plants and my outside pots. Light, seems accurate enough for indoor plants. I have some windows that block some uv rays and the gauge seems to be accurate. It’s certainly close enough that I can tell a difference between windows. And I do know which windows are which. The pH meter seems accurate enough for my plants. I’ve been stabbing it into the dirt all around my yard- wiping the probes clean between stabs. There are areas I knew were too acidic and I’m trying to correct that. So far it’s letting me know. The gauge reads dead center with bottled water, about 5 for vinegar and above 8 with alkaline water. If I need a more accurate reading I can do a chemical test. This is saving me money. I gave it 4 stars because I don’t know how long it will last. I’m hoping the entire growing season. If it does I’ll give it a 5. It’s still going strong. I’m in love with this little gadget.

I read the description carefully. A previously healthy Sago suddenly deteriorated and eventually died. The gardeners thought the Sago was getting too much water. They asked me to check the pH of the soil so I bought the meter. I didn't find it useful to do that with this meter. The meter did not meet my expectations or my lack of soil chemistry was overwhelmed by the meter. Either way, it was a wasted effort.

I typically kill my houseplants by either overwatering and causing root rot or underwatering and killing them from the stress. This little device has already made me a better plantkeeper. I can't attest to the accuracy, but it is consistent, so I now use it to determine when to water my plants. I can check every plant in my collection (127) every day and only water those that need it. In addition, it has alerted me to plants in trouble because their pots drained insufficiently. Thanks to this device, I was able to repot my Fiddleleaf Fig before the standing water in the pot rotted out the roots.

Ph meter doesn't work at all. Fresh out of the package it reads all the way as far as it can go to the alkaline side. Put it in my garden, my yard in 3 places, the ditch at the side of my house and 8 large pots with herbs growing in them. All read 9 on the alkaline scale.I then took a plastic bucket, filled it 8 inches deep with soil, and added a handful of soil acidifier, which requires per the package only 1 pound per 100 square feet of garden area. So a handful should make the soil in the bucket very acidic. Afer adding water to the bucket and stirring it well and leaving if for a few days, checked it again. Totally alkaline. Which if the meter is working is totally impossible. I missed the return date but for future possible buyers DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT IT DOESN'T WORK.

This item is just what I needed to make some moisture and ph checks within my yard.However, with one exception. It’s not durable at all. One of the probe tips broke after one week.

I like this because it is uncomplicated. I would be nice if the prongs were thinner so I can check my seedlings without the bigger holes left. Perfect for every other plant, I bottom water, this helps track moisture:-)

Easy to read and precisely calibrated. This garden tool will provide the user with accurate measurements.I recommend this product for ease of use and quality a quality build.

I bought this mainly to help me heal my Norfolk Pine, which is dropping fronds at an alarming rate. The product arrived with one of the two metal rods dented and slightly bent. But I thought I'd try it out anyways. I followed the directions, which say to press it firmly and deeply into the plant's root system. I did that-- pressing it slowly into the 24" diameter, 16 " high pot. that holds my 48 " high Norfolk Pine. I tested the ph, moisture and light a few times, in different places in the pot. I have no other meters by which to judge the accuracy of the readings. But the soil reading showed that the soil was highly alkaline--which Norfolk Pines DONT like. So that may be my problem. I sprinkled on some rhododendron food by Schultz. But did not water it as the moisture reading was still on high side. When I got done I went to wash the dirt off the device and saw that it was even more bent than at first! I had used it as directed; had been gentle; and still it was more bent than before. I guess you get what you pay for. I also found the small numbers on the face of the device was hard to read. I had to get down on the floor and peer closely at the readings -- a challenge at 77, or getting up is anyways. The readings go back to 0 when you pull it out of the soil. So the manufacturer needs to either make the face of the device much larger, with larger numbers and letters, or they need to figure out a way to freeze the reading, so you can pull it out from a standing position get the readings. I'm going to return it because it feels like one of the legs is so fragile, it will break very soon.
