House Plant Moisture Meter




Now you can stop guessing whether your plant needs watered. A plant moisture meter is a sure way to find out. Just stick the prongs into the soil and a gauge will show you how much moisture is in the soil.

The Soil Moisture Meter (at left) shows you at a glance when your plant needs watered.

Just stick the probe into the soil and you'll know in an instant whether or not your plant needs watering. With this handy, easy-to-use tool, you'll never under- or (more likely) over-water your house plants again.



Be extra-kind to your plants. The Soil Moisture Meter With Light does double-duty. It not only it lets you know when your plants are thirsty, it gives you an accurate light level reading, helping you to choose the best location for your plants.

You'll get readings you can count on every time with this light and moisture content meter -- no batteries needed.





High-tech doesn't have to mean geeky. This Singing Goldfinch Meter tells you when your plant is thirsty with a cheery tune. An automatic light sensor lets it know when it's nighttime, so it won't chirp at night.

Beautifully hand-painted, this bird is simply charming -- and every bit as efficient at helping to keep your plants healthy.

Like Cardinals? How about a Blue Jay or Robin? They're available, too. Get a whole flock. Or, just put one bird in your fussiest plant to remind you to check the others.

Green Thumb Tip:

Don't know how much water your plant needs?

You'll find watering requirements for your plant in the House Plants Encyclopedia A-Z.

Gauging Moisture

Testing soil dryness by sticking your finger in the soil is a common way to check for moisture.

However, the finger method isn't the most accurate. You can't tell how much moisture is in the bottom half of the pot, where most of the root mass is contained.

Of course, the best thing you can do is pay attention to your house plants. Both overwatering and underwatering can cause a plant to wilt. And, allowing plants to suffer may cause permanent damage.

An electronic moisture meter is the most accurate way to gauge the amount of moisture deep in the container. Water plants thoroughly, then check the meter before watering again.
