Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter

This Digital Moisture Meter has truly revolutionized my gardening experience. With a growing collection of houseplants, maintaining optimal soil moisture levels has always been a challenge. No more guesswork or relying solely on intuition, this handy device has made the task a breeze.Pros:The simple interface requires minimal effort to operate, just turn it on and stick the probe into the soil (to its halfway point or all the way) and boom you get a reading (level 0 to 10), simple. When using the meter make sure you turn it on before probing the soil as if you turn it on already probed into the soil it will not properly read moisture levels. You can always go around the plant to check that watering levels are even as well as push further down to make sure there are no root rot water levels. The meter delivers consistent and precise readings, allowing me to adjust my watering routine with confidence. Plus, the ergonomic design and compact size make it easy to handle, even in tight spaces or among densely packed foliage.The package includes an ideal moisture level list for a variety of houseplants, herbs, and fruiting plants. The paper chart is in between the cardboard packaging. I laminated it for safekeeping. It inspired me to make my own blank chart list which I now fill in after some research when I get a new plant that isn’t on the original list. The font size of the list is small. The measuring system of 0 to 10 is scaling it from dry to super wet. On the list, the required moisture levels for a variety of plants will read from 1 to 10, said level of each plant should be always maintained. The plant list also suggests the frequency of checking the plants. It is suggested that for most plants three days is ideal while others are with less frequency. Wipe the probe clean with a napkin or cloth when in use between plants to get a more accurate reading.Cons:While the Digital Moisture Meter performs admirably in most situations, it may struggle with extremely compact or rocky soils. In such cases, I have noticed the top of the meter has loosened and the hard shell above the metal probe opens and becomes dislodged from the base. It is an easy fix, I just press it shut, you can also place some tape on it. Considering the meter's overall performance and utility, this is a minor inconvenience that I'm willing to overlook, especially for the sale price of $7.99. I have had my device for almost two years. I recommend packing it away safely and not haphazardly to prevent damage to the shell over the metal probe.I highly recommend this digital moisture meter and I have already bought it as gifts for members in my family. Its reliability, convenience, and efficiency have earned it a permanent place in my gardening toolkit.

Easy to use and easy to read works well!

Not working properly.Wast of money.

観葉植物用に購入しましたが、鹿沼土や赤玉土のような荒い密度の土には反応しないのでご注意下さい。

they have sent me a second hand device. I waited for two weeks and they sent a second hand device which is not functioning. Even you can not turn it on. I cannot accept any justification from them for selling a second hand device!
