6-in-1 Soil Meter

$45.00

Reads 6 things your plant can't tell you. Comes with the ideal ranges for 20+ common plants, by name.
Directions

1. Hold the main button for 3 seconds to turn the meter on.
2. Insert the probes two-thirds of the way into the pot, or about 4 inches deep.
3. Wait about 7 seconds for the screen to stop flashing, then read all six values.
4. Compare the numbers to your plant's ideal ranges in the included guide.
5. Wipe the probes clean after each use. Soil only, never dip them in water or any other liquid.

Tip: check pH in moist soil. Dry soil gives inaccurate readings.

What each reading saves you

Moisture

Water with certainty.

Overwatering is the #1 plant killer. Check soil moisture before watering.

pH

Unlock the nutrients.

Wrong pH can lock out nutrients even in good soil.

Light

Find the right spot.

Sometimes the fix is a brighter corner, not more water.

Fertility

Feed when hungry.

Too little starves, too much burns. Fertilize on evidence, not a schedule.

Humidity

Rule out dry air.

Crispy edges can mean dry air, not dry soil. Fix the room, not the pot.

Temperature

Catch cold spots.

Drafty windows run colder than the room. Spot it before growth stops.

One meter, every pot

Wide enough range on all readings to cover your plants indoors and outdoors.

Tip!

Use in soil only

Submerging probes into any liquid including water and vinegar will damage them.

Test pH in moist soil

For best results, check pH after watering. Dry soil gives inaccurate readings.

Insert two-thirds deep

Insert probes deep enough to reach the root zone for better accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

When will my order arrive?

We’re pretty quick. Orders usually ship within 24 hours, and most arrive within 3–5 business days.
What is your 30-day guarantee?

We want you to have the best experience with The Green Alcove. We offer a simple 30-day guarantee on your first order. Refunds include the full value of your order (less a $5 handling fee and original shipping costs). We accept all refund requests within our refund policy with no hassle.

Does it need batteries?

No. Recharges with the included cable; about 12 hours of screen-on time, auto shut-off after 5 minutes, so a charge lasts months of normal check-ins.
Can I test water or liquids?

No, soil only. Never dip the probes in any liquid: water, vinegar, fertilizer solution, anything. Liquids damage them.
Will it work for my specific plant?

The readings span the full range houseplants live in to full-sun herbs. And because we provide actual measurements not vaguely named ranges like "low" or "high", you can easily look up the ideal range for your plant.
Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately, we're only available to ship within the US at the moment.
