XLUX Long Probe Soil Moisture Meter (Model T9178#2) User Manual

1. המוצר נגמרview

The XLUX Long Probe Soil Moisture Meter (Model T9178#2) is designed to accurately measure the moisture content deep within the soil of your plants. Unlike surface-level checks, this meter's extended 5.5-inch (14 cm) probe allows for precise readings at the root level, crucial for larger pots and deeper garden beds. It helps prevent both overwatering and underwatering, promoting healthier plant growth.

The large, easy-to-read dial features three distinct zones to help you interpret moisture levels:

• Red Zone (1-3 DRY): Indicates that the soil is dry and the plant likely needs watering.
• Green Zone (4-7 MOIST): Indicates optimal moisture levels. Most plants thrive in this range.
• Blue Zone (8-10 WET): Indicates that the soil is wet. Avoid watering to prevent root rot.
