I've just started growing chilli plants in pots and the worst thing you can do is over water them so I bought one of these to keep an eye on my plants and avoid the temptation of watering them when they don't need it. This has been perfect and my chilli plants are staying healthy!

This works perfectly, so you really know if your plants in pots or hanging baskets need water or not, and it surprised me just how the lower part of a pot or hanging basket still retains a lot of moisture even when the top of the pot or hanging basket looks very dry so helping to avoid root rot.Don't forget to wipe the tip of the probe each time you test a pot or hanging basket with a tissue or bit of cloth, so you don't get a false reading on the next pot or hanging basket that you test, and it is very easy to use.

Seems to work well, useful for tricky plants (I'm an accidental plant killer, usually from overwatering)

Couldn’t be without this tool for my houseplants. I don’t find the stick your finger in menthol any good as it could feel dry on top and read wet at the bottom. This is a MUST for any houseplant enthusiasts

Works reliably and is good for plants in large pots where you can't easily determine the moisture content at root level. I use it to decide when to water our citrus trees which need soaking followed by no further watering until they dry out.

Once you have lightly sanded the probe tip (think it has some protective coating on or somwthing) Tthis is such an easy tool to use and lets you know immediately if you really need to water your house plants (works on garden plants too, but obviously only as deep as the probe goes). Hopefully it’ll stop me overwatering them in future.

It’s actually a great product, something you don’t really think about but it’s quite interesting to see which plants deep down are wet and you don’t even know it!

I'm not sure if I'm fully convinced by whatever wizardry makes this thing work. I stick the probe in and test the soil: it says dry, moist, wet.... then I stick my finger in to compare and I'm not sure I agree. Dry soil feels moist, wet soil feels dry....But I got this magic stick because my plants were dying; and following a week of its advice now they're not. So I I'm going to trust it.
