Handmade House Plant Water Meters are one of our favorite recommendations for new plant parents who struggle with You know, we are also telling plant parents to snag a couple extra chop sticks from their Chinese take out, & this is just taking that same idea to the next level!
16" Long these Handmade Jumbo House Plant Water Meters are big enough to reach the bottom of nearly any pot or planter unlike your regular sized chop sticks.
Simply stick into the soil of the plant you are unsure is thirsty or not all the way to the bottom of the planter. Give the meter a couple of turns in the soil & slowly pull back out! Where ever soil is seen on the meter is the same percentage of the planter that has moist soil (i.e. completely dry soil will produce a clean soil free meter once pulled from the pot).
Additionally, on top of helping you manage & nurture your plant babies contentiously-- these are excellent tools for aerating your soil! Over time soil can compact & make it difficult for your plants roots to breathe! Always remember a health root system NEEDS oxygen! Some all-purpose soils have the tendency to natural "bulk" & "clump" together which also produces this suffocating affect to your plants root system-- by taking your Jumbo meter after watering your plant and sticking it in the soil one less or the same number of times as the planter size you are helping to bring oxygen to your plants root system, break up compacted parts of the soil, prevent water logging, & ultimately preventing root rot!
