What Customers Are Saying

The 3-in-1 soil tester had mixed reviews. While the moisture and light functions worked reasonably well, the pH meter was widely reported as inaccurate and unreliable, often showing neutral or alkaline results regardless of actual soil conditions. Many users also experienced issues with the build quality and durability, with probes breaking or disconnecting after limited use. A few customers found the tester helpful for monitoring plant needs, but the majority of reviews suggest this is not a dependable product, especially for measuring soil pH accurately.

Great help in saving my plants!

Would Recommend

I received this Akasha moisture, light & PH meter in exchange for my honest review. I've been having trouble with a couple of new plants. They just aren't thriving like I thought they would. This meter was easy to use. No batteries needed. The package has an easy to follow chart on the back to help you understand what each type of plant needs and detailed usage instructions. It has helped me make my plants happier!

Great

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] If you're a plant lover like my husband, the Moisture, Light, and pH Meter has been such a helpful little tool for plant care. It measures three important things for your plants-soil moisture, light exposure, and pH levels-so you can better understand what your plants actually need. I love how easy it is to use: just insert the probe into the soil and read the dial. No batteries needed, which makes it super convenient. It really takes t...

Really helps check moisture level

I bought this moisture meter about a month ago and tried it out on about 3 different plants and a group of succulents of mine. I was amazed when I saw that it actually worked. It includes a list in the back of the box that provides you with the correct moisture level that each different type of plant or tree or succulent should be in order for it to have optimal health. I have been using it periodically, do check the levels Of moisture, as my plants and succulents grow to know when to water th...

Poor Quality

The probes break very easily as they are made of a soft metal.

Handy and easy to use

Would Recommend

Very easy to read and understand. Measures three different things for your plants. Seems a little pricey when you really just need to know moisture usually

Great Tool, Outdated Design

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This battery-free meter is a lifesaver for checking moisture, light, and pH. It’s saved my plants from guessing games! The only downside is that you have to keep the cardboard packaging just to read the reference chart. A simple app or digital guide would make this perfect, but it definitely gets the job done.

A practical and dependable tool

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This moisture, light, and pH meter is easy to use and gives quick readings that help me care for my plants with more confidence. The build feels sturdy and lightweight, so it's simple to move between pots or take it outside to the garden. I like that it doesn't need batteries and provides clear guidance for watering and placement. A practical and dependable tool for everyday plant care.

Unsure about ph

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This can be a somewhat handy gadget for plant owners. I was only able to test it indoors at the moment as our soil outside is pretty frozen solid. The light monitor seems appropriate, the moisture also appears to be about right, but I don’t know about ph. No matter what I tested the needle barely budged from the far left which is appropriate for indoor plants. However out of curiosity I also tested it in vinegar and it read about the sam...

soil meter for healthier plants

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I didn't know I needed this little gadget until I got it. It's very useful in helping me determine how the soil conditions are and if I need to add more nutrients. I also can decide if I need to lighten up on the water or relocate a plant to a better area for lighting. It's easy to use, adjusting the meter to the setting you want to test.

Helpful for gardening beginners

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I am by no means a green thumb so this device will be really useful come Spring when I start to plant new flowers, especially when it comes to determining what soil pH I have and what flowers will do best. The only downside is the main housing is veryplastic, so be careful pushing this into soil. Otherwise, this seems a very helpful device in detecting light, moisture, ...
