Overview
Soil Moisture Indicator 26 cm Without Batteries Root Depth Measurement Coloured Core Plastic Stick White For Large Plant Pots

The longest soil moisture indicator is designed for large plant pots and mature houseplants, where the surface of the soil may be dry while deeper down there is still sufficient moisture. The stick has a length of 26 cm, allowing it to reach the depth where the roots of larger plants, such as Pachira or Ficus lyrata, are located. The meter operates without batteries and any electronics. Once inserted into the soil, simply observe the colour of the core in the window at the top end. This way, you can easily tell whether it is necessary to water or if it is better to wait a bit longer.

The moisture-sensitive core inside the stick reacts to the amount of water in the soil by changing colour. Dry soil is indicated by a white colour, while sufficiently moist soil is shown in blue. After watering, the colour changes in approximately 3 to 30 minutes depending on the type of substrate and the amount of water. To ensure the reading corresponds to the moisture at the roots, insert the indicator so that the surface of the soil is level with the arrows marked on the stick. With large containers, you gain insight into the moisture in deeper layers that are inaccessible by finger.

The indicator is suitable for repeated use and can be moved to another large plant as needed. Before moving, simply wipe it or rinse it with water. It can be used in garden soil, peat, potting mix for houseplants, and in mixtures with bark. More accurate readings are obtained when measuring under normal conditions, rather than immediately in extremely dry or completely saturated soil. Due to its length, the stick is easily visible even among dense leaves, and it does not need to be pulled out for checking. Its slim white shape does not stand out significantly in the pot.

The long moisture indicator is ideal for large containers with a diameter of 25 to 36 cm, where estimating watering is most challenging. It helps monitor overwatering, which often leads to root rot in large plants, as well as prolonged dry periods. The reading can be taken at a glance, and no settings or charging are required. The moisture-sensitive core lasts in operation for up to 1 year. It is suitable for use in homes, offices, and on terraces with large potted plants.
