The 3-Way Moisture Meter ensures the health and quality of your plants by helping you know when to water, control pH and light level. It provides moisture readings on a scale of 0 (dry) to 10 (moist), pH readings between pH 3 (acidic) and pH 10 (basic), and light levels on a scale between 0 LUX (low light) to 2000 LUX (very strong light). Suitable for indoors or out and needs no batteries to operate.

MOISTURE METER FUNCTION

  • Slide the switch to the “MOIST” setting.
  • Insert the probe 3/4 of its length into the soil.
  • The moisture reading registers on a scale of 0 (dry) to 10 (moist) and is located in the middle row of the reading output area.
  • If your reading registers in the first half of the RED zone (0 to 1.5), it’s time to water.
  • For moisture-loving plants, if the reading registers in the second half of the GREEN zone (5 to 7), it is then time to water.
  • Your plants do not need additional water if your reading registers in the BLUE zone (8 to 10).

LIGHT METER FUNCTION

  • Slide the switch to the “LIGHT” setting.
  • Place the photo sensor near the plant with the sensor oriented towards the light source. The sensor is located on the front center of the meter.
  • Take the reading from the top, white area of the reading output area.
  • Readings between 0 and 500 indicate low light levels, while readings of 700 to 2000 indicate stronger light levels.

pH METER FUNCTION

  • Slide the switch to the “pH” setting.
  • Collect soil below 2” of the surface. Remove stones and other debris from the sample. Mix the soil with water until it turns to mud.
  • Gently wipe the tester probe with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Insert the meter 4-5” into the sample and make sure the probe is in contact with the sample for one minute; then note the reading.
  • In order to achieve the adequate pH level, you can raise it with lime or lower it with peat moss. For best results, you should use a pH Up or Down solution available from your retailer.

PLEASE NOTE: This 3-Way Meter is not waterproof; only the probe tips can safely be submerged in liquid. For best results, carefully clean and dry your 3-Way Meter after every use.

Our Story

Falling in love with houseplants was a happy accident. Embracing indoor plants filled the void of being away from nature, diminished our loneliness, and helped overcome the fear of missing out.

As we grew with our plant collection, we realized there was more to appreciate beyond instant gratification. We cherish the memories, experiences, and people we've encountered on our journey with houseplants. The very first plant we cared for, the friends who gifted us their precious cuttings, and the special ones who supported us along our plant journey are what make us JOMO.
