Soil pH Meter, MS02 3-in-1 Soil Moisture/Light/pH Tester Gardening Tool Kits for Plant Care, Great for Garden, Lawn, Farm, Indoor & Outdoor Use (Green)

The SONKIR Soil pH Meter, MS02 3-in-1 (Green) is a fantastic gardening companion for anyone looking to optimize plant care. This compact, battery-free device measures soil moisture, pH, and sunlight levels with a simple probe insertion, helping me keep my indoor and outdoor plants thriving. The double-needle technology provides quick, reliable readings—just insert the 7.9-inch probes 2-4 inches into the soil, wait a few minutes, and toggle between moisture (1-10 scale), pH (3.5-8), and light (0-2000 lux). I’ve found the moisture readings especially helpful for preventing overwatering my houseplants, while the pH tester has guided me in adjusting soil for my vegetable garden.

I bought this last year for my outside plants, it works amazingly well especially for the price. This is exactly what I needed for outdoor plants. There's probably 50 different types of this exact meter but I bought this one due to the reviews being good. It detects lightness great, the build and size is perfect for my 30 gallon outdoor plant container. It's very easy to use, pretty self-explanatory and Common Sense. On the box & even on the product page it says to clean the probes every time you use it, I concur. You need to clean it after every use or it's not going to last. NONE OF THESE ARE MADE FOR NEVER CLEANING. I designated one rag to clean this thing when I use it, it's super easy to clean so there's no reason for it to deteriorate or become non workable like some of the bad reviews have stated. It's not the fault of the product, keep it clean. I will be buying a second one for my indoor plants right now.

I really love these things. Easy to use and easy to read, but I swear the moisture reader stops working after a year. It also seems to struggle more in some soils than in other. The pH reader rarely works. It puts everything at a 7, even when a soil test comes back with something different. The light meter is a great, but not something I use very often.

If plants could talk, they'd probably say, "Hey, could you check my pH levels, please?" Enter the SONKIR Soil pH Meter, the gadget that lets you become the plant whisperer you always knew you could be.Using this meter is like giving your plants a health check-up without the awkward small talk. It's a 3-in-1 wonder that measures moisture, light, and pH levels, so you can finally figure out why your fern looks like it’s auditioning for a role in a horror movie.The best part? No batteries required! It's powered by pure gardening enthusiasm and possibly a sprinkle of magic. Just stick the probes into the soil, and voilà! Instant plant diagnostics. It's like having a stethoscope for your garden, minus the cold metal and awkward doctor visits.Now, let's talk accuracy. While it might not be NASA-grade, it’s definitely enough to impress your neighbor who thinks their lawn is the pinnacle of horticultural achievement. And who knows, with this meter, you might just dethrone them in the neighborhood plant-off.In conclusion, the SONKIR Soil pH Meter is the sidekick every gardener needs. It’s fun, functional, and might just save you from overwatering your cactus (again). So go ahead, channel your inner plant detective and give your green friends the care they deserve. Just be prepared for them to grow so well they start demanding more space!

I did some at home very rough at home testing before putting out in the garden.Moisture MeterFirst I put the instruments in a cup of water as a baseline for the moister meter. The needle immediately jumped to a 10, once again confirming the age old adage that water is wet. I then proceeded with testing the moister meter with paper towels of various dampnesses. The moister meter did a well enough job at indicating dampness.Light detector:I took the light detector outside on a clear day at noon to get a baseline measurement. The detector maxed out at 2000. I then tested various shades outside and inside. My findings seem to indicate that the light meter is less accurate than the moisture meter. It detects direct sunlight, slight shade, and indirect sunlight relatively well, but medium/low light shade and indoor lighting was not detected at all.PH MeterFor the PH meter I used a neutralized solution of distilled white vinegar and sodium bicarbonate for a baseline. The baseline PH was slightly above 7 but good enough for a neutral reading. I washed the meter off and then put it in a cup of pure white vinegar and got a reading of 5, two whole integers above the actual PH of white vinegar. I then put the meter in a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and got 7.5 as the result, one whole integer below the actual ph of the bicarbonate solution. In general it looks like the meter is good enough to tell you wether your soil is acidic or basic but not to be trusted with anything close to an accurate, numbered, measurement.Though not as accurate as I hoped the instrument is still good enough for the price for general garden measurement with the one caveat being that I wouldn’t trust the PH meter if you need an exacting measurement of soil ph. For that I would get ph paper, it’s cheap, accurate, and easy to read.
