Soil Moisture Meter Pink

I purchased this to supplement an aging combo water/ph/light meter that works well but the face has faded and become hard to read. This was recommended in a review online so I decided to add this to my gardening tools. Upon testing it is very consistent when compared to my existing meter so I know that it accurate for my simple needs of testing soil moisture. So far it has been simple to use and easy to read in bright sun as well as the shade. Good little tool!

This is a must have for people like me who struggle with plant care but love having indoor plants. Easy to read, easy to use, seems to be accurate. I love knowing exactly when to water my plants after killing too many of them. The length is nice even for deeper/tree pots. This is a quality water meter and this was actually my second time buying it. My child lost my first one checking the water outside in the yard somewhere after having it for about two years. It’s apparently that exciting to use. I would buy this again if another is lost because it works so well.

I put it in moist soil and it read dry. I put it in a cup of water and it read dry. Didn't work for me at all. Update: The seller reached out to me after my review asking if I would give them another try as they believe the product was damaged during transit. I agreed and so happy I did! The product works as described. I had just watered my potted plants when the delivery came in and the meter showed very moist. I put it in a pot that I hadn't watered yet and it read on the dry side. On customer service alone this company is amazing! They have reached out to me a few times since to make sure I was happy. This type of customer service you don't find these days! Happy customer!

Wonderful price, easy to read, great product that does what is expected. However, Instructions clearly state that it should NOT be left in soil. So it's more of a check it, take it out, clean it off & put it back in the box for next time sort of item. I thought I could leave it in the soil - you can't. This is probably where other reviewers who rated it low stars issues started.

A friend recommended this soil moisture meter after I complimented her on how healthy her plants looked, and now I totally get why! I have houseplants in just about every room, and it turns out I was loving them a little too much with water. This little tool has completely changed the way I care for them. The design is super simple-no batteries, no charging, just stick it into the soil and it gives you an instant reading. The meter read is quick, accurate, and easy to understand. I use it once a week when I do my plant check-in and watering. It’s been spot-on accurate and has taken all the guesswork out of plant care. The build quality is great- sturdy and durable without being bulky. For the price, this is such a great value. I truly believe my plants are thanking me. They’ve never looked better. If you love houseplants but struggle with knowing when to water, this tool is a game changer!

So handy and ‘plant saving’ tool! Highly and often recommended.

The first Gouevn Soil Moisture Meter was broken because the needle was way off the chart and did not move at all to show the humidity level. The information on how to use the meter was right on the box and was easy to follow. The meter was sturdy and the size appropriate. I returned it with the reason for the return. Almost immediately, I received a new one and this one works.

I received this soil moisture meter today and tested it on various pots to get a sense of how it interpreted different levels of moisture. This meter does know the difference between wet and dry, but it seems to measure about 2 steps lower than reference. I am basing this measure on the reference that plants that need to be kept evenly moist are supposed to be watered when the meter reads around "3," and plants that need to dry out between waterings are supposed to be watered when the meter reads around "1." I let the meter settle for 60 seconds before reading each time, as the needle swung far to the right every time the tip entered soil, and then slowly trended down before stopping at the measure. Freshly replanted jasmine with water rapidly dripping from pot drainage holes, still visibly boggy soil on top (gardener's definition of "wet") - meter read "5" ("moist") Established Meyer lemon tree watered 3 days ago, soil surface still damp but not wet to touch (gardener's definition of "moist") - meter read "2.5" ("dry") Established succulent plant with dry soil all the way down, due for watering - meter read "1.5" ("dry") So it consistently UNDER-estimated soil moisture until it got to a pot that was actually dry. This is a problem for me, as I bought the meter to keep me from accidently over-watering my citrus and succulent plants. I suppose I can just remember to "add 2" and correlate with soil texture for a while - if it turns out to be consistently incorrect, it could still be helpful. ADDENDUM: This meter stopped working entirely after a couple of weeks. It now tells me all soil, no matter how wet or dry, is between 2-3 ("dry").

Ideal for checking out plants in pots

Excellent! Works great!

It only worked for one week . Subsequently the pointer always goes to blue which means very wet , even though the soil is dry !

غير جيد في قياس الرطوبة للتربة مطلقا

Happy with the Product. Tried on Indoor as well as Outdoor Plants. Gives an immediate read. I had actually expected, as stated in product specs, that it will take a few minutes to arrive at the meter read, but it is instant. The Probe is long enough to reach closer to the roots in most Pots. Also, senses differential water levels in the same Pot. Tried at surface and the deeper. The reading of the meter keeps changing when it moves deep down. Works well overall. I preferred the analog one over the digital meters, which according to my view may not have longer life and will not be robust enough in the UAE temperature.
