From the brand
XLUX brand, a company always true to its original aspirations. Rooted in a commitment to quality, our brand story embodies the principle of “you get what you pay for.” We continuously refine products, respect user experience, and take responsibility for the XLUX brand. Actively listening to user feedback, focusing on every detail, we strive to infuse more quality and innovation into the XLUX brand.
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.

Works like a charm and saved my plants from overwatering!
I have a growing collection of indoor plantsâprayer plants, a peace lily, a Calathea named Vesperâand I used to rely on guesswork or finger pokes to decide when to water. Not anymore.This meter is simple to useâno batteries, no fuss. Just stick it in the soil, and the needle gives you a clear and accurate moisture reading. What I love most is how it helps me understand the differences between each plantâs needs. My snake plant likes to stay on the dry side, while my parlor palm needs a bit more regular watering. The XLUX helps me keep them all happy without second-guessing.The only heads-up: make sure you clean the probe after each use, and donât leave it in the soil permanently. Just dip it in when you need a check and pull it out when you’re done.Highly recommend if you’re a plant parent trying to avoid root rot disasters or crispy leaves. Itâs now my go-to plant care tool!

A great tool for plants
This is such a great tool for plants. I love the durability and the ease of use. It doesnât take any batteries either which is a plus!!! Simply place the tool in to the soil and it will read the moisture level. Great for house plants as well so you donât have to worry about over watering and root rot. Itâs a great little functioning tool to use on either indoor or outdoor plants!

It worked well, until it didn’t. Purchased May of 2023, kept it in the house when not using.Last month it stopped working. Almost killed some of my plants.

Best tool ever!
Best tool ever for a person who tends to over water plants. This tool actually measures the moisture in potted plants makes taking care of my plants easy peasy. Its accurate reliable and for the money its worth it because im not repurchaseing my plants.

Has kept my plants from being overwatered
I have been using this water meter for several months now and it has worked really well. I have about 20 different plant varieties, and they all need watered at different times. I would have killed half of my plants by now if I did not have a meter. The back of the box also lists most of the common household plants to inform you when to water, which has been helpful. These are particularly important for Fiddle Leaf Figs or African milk trees – as they both cannot endure too much watering or they will perish.

Easy to use and convenient
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fantastic meter. Very simple and mechanical, needs no batteries, no fancy electronics that are likely to break. Just shows me if my potatoes and tomatoes need to be watered when I can’t get my finger blindly all the way down into my grow bags. Zero issues, easy to use, and one of the most useful gardening tools I’ve ever bought.

A good basic Hygrometer
As advertised. This is strictly a hygrometer, it does not provide soil PH.

Ich habe von Zimmerpflanzen keine Ahnung und ich habe auch keinen grünen Daumen, aber ich habe mir eine Bougainvillea angeschafft, die ich mir schon länger gewünscht habe, weil ich ihre Blütenpracht so faszinierend schön finde. Seit einigen Wochen darf ich sie nun bereits bewundern, aber sie hat wohl nach dem Stress des Lieferungsprozesses einen groÃen Teil Blüten und Blätter abgeworfen. Inzwischen treibt sie kräftig, jedoch leider ohne neue Blüten anzusetzen. Ok, ich habe mich informiert und demnach ist unsere Bougainvillea zu feucht. Die Pflanze steht in einem Gemisch aus Erde und Substrat, die Oberfläche schaut trocken aus, auch wenn ich den Finger hineinsteckte fühlte es sich sehr trocken an. Dann habe ich entdeckt, dass es speziell für Pflanzen Feuchtigkeitsmesser gibt und diesen hier aufgrund der guten Rezensionen bestellt. Das war genau richtig, denn sonst hätte ich meine blühende Schönheit wohl bald kaputtgepflegt. Das Messgerät kommt ohne Batterien oder ähnliches aus, es wird einfach in den Boden bzw Pflanztopf eingesteckt, binnen Sekunden wird die jeweilige Feuchtigkeit angezeigt. Anders als ich vermutet hatte, bleibt das Messgerät aber nicht in der Pflanze, es muss immer wieder schnell entnommen werden, dann abgewischt und auÃerhalb der Pflanze verbleiben, denn sonst würde die Messeinheit wohl korrodieren. Ich war hochgradig irritiert, wir hatten im Bereich der Bougainvillea zT sehr hohe Temperaturen und ich habe sie vor mehr als 8 Tagen zuletzt gewässert und dennoch zeigte mir die Anzeige, dass zuviel Feuchtigkeit im Boden ist. Das war auch bei unseren anderen beiden Pflanzen der Fall. Ich war genauso überzeugt, dass unsere Glücksfeder trocken sein müsste von meinem Gefühl ausgehend, aber nein, sie war ebenfalls leicht zu feucht. Ohne die Anzeige durch dieses Messgerät hätte ich dies nie bemerkt und unseren Pflanzen somit nicht gut getan. Ich möchte dieses Messgerät nicht mehr missen wollen. Für Laien, die sich mit Zimmerpflanzen kaum auskennen, ist diese Hilfe besonders empfehlenswert, denn es schenkt Klarheit darüber, ob die Pflanzen wirklich Wasser benötigen.Das Gerät ist sehr leicht, wirkt gut verarbeitet und ist auch gut ablesbar. Also absolute Kaufempfehlung für diesen nützlichen Helfer.

Llevo años usándolo y funciona a la perfección. Incluye una lista de la humedad a la que se deberÃa regar cada familia de plantas, aunque lo mejor es observar cuándo necesita cada una el riego. Muy útil para comprobar la humedad en las distintas profundidades de la maceta, aunque hay que pinchar varias veces si el sustrato incluye partes muy grandes como corteza de pino. También servirÃa un palito de madera… pero esto es más preciso y, sobre todo, no necesita pilas ni baterÃa.
