Team lifted weight and visual inspect (mine all have clear inner pots) combined with finger/bamboo stick, meter for larger deep pots

lol same, I do all methods

Moisture meter and weight. But my concrete pots are impossible to judge by weight. And I usually will try the meter in a few locations in the pot.

Finger

I might benefit from a meter, but I’ve mostly finger tested thus far. Visual signs of thirst is something too tho.

Moisture meter. But I also check weight as I do my daily checks.

After assessing the appearance either by weight or chopstick.

### Jhenna reageerde op 2026-03-30

Team finger test.

Finger, weight…depending on plant and pot…
