I won't water a plant without one. I've been using them for years. One word of advice, when you're checking whether or not the plant needs water make sure the meter is set to set to moisture. I didn't check mine and it was on light and I killed a 15-year-old Christmas cactus by overwatering it. Hard lesson learned but I look at that thing every time I use it now. โน๏ธ
3๊ฐ ์ข์์Sound advice! I have only had my meter a couple weeks but I actually did that this morning ๐ itโs the first time I played with the light meter on it. I had watered 2 plants before I realized what I did. So definitely check your settings!!! โ
์ข์์ 1๊ฐThis might be a dumb question but Iโll post it anyway. When using the finger technique to see if a plant needs water the recommendation is to go up to about the second knuckle which is approximately 2โ. So does that mean that the meter should be inserted only about 2โ as well?
์ข์์ 1๊ฐThe meter should always be inserted to basically the bottom of your pot. I hate the finger test ๐ Personally, I started with that moisture meter and quickly found wooden skewers much easier and quicker to use. You can get them at the dollar store and the pack will last forever. You can also put a bunch out to be checking multiple plants at one time. But thats 100% just my personal preference. I absolutely do not have a hate on for moisture meters! Lol
3๊ฐ ์ข์์How exactly do you use the skewers?

Where did you get this?
0๊ฐ ์ข์์I got this at my local garden center
0๊ฐ ์ข์์During botany class these were LIFE savers for testing my plant health overall. Itโs so much better than a finger test, youโll question yourself and it leads to overwatering SOOO MUCH. I bought one and am sitting here waiting for it to be shipped๐ญ
