- Wide Temperature Range: Operates in environmental temperatures from 5°C to 50°C, suitable for indoor and outdoor use year-round.
- Probe Depth: Measurable depth of up to 6 cm, ideal for surface-level root zone analysis.
- No Batteries Needed: Completely self-powered — insert the probe into moist soil and read results instantly on the analog display.
- Compact & Portable: Lightweight and pocket-sized, perfect for home gardens, greenhouses, allotments, and farm fields.
- CE Certified: Meets European safety and quality standards for consumer electronics.
Understanding Your Soil pH
Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of your soil solution. A pH of 7 is neutral; below 7 is acidic; above 7 is alkaline. Most crops thrive in a specific pH range:
- <4.5 – Extremely Strong Acidity
- 4.5–5.5 – Strong Acidity
- 5.5–6.5 – Mildly Acidic
- 6.5–7.5 – Neutral (ideal for most vegetables)
- 7.5–8.5 – Mildly Alkaline
- 8.5–9.5 – Strong Alkalinity
- >9.5 – Extremely Strong Alkalinity
Optimal pH Reference for Common Crops
| Crop | Ideal pH | Crop | Ideal pH |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 6.0–7.0 | Tomatoes | 6.0–7.0 |
| Wheat | 6.0–7.0 | Watermelon | 6.0–7.0 |
| Corn | 6.0–7.0 | Cucumber | 6.0–8.0 |
| Soybeans | 6.0–7.0 | Peanut | 5.0–6.0 |
| Sugarcane | 6.0–8.0 | Tea | 5.0–5.5 |
| Orange | 5.0–7.0 | Potatoes | 4.8–5.4 |
Why Soil Moisture Matters
Soil moisture directly affects how well your plants absorb nutrients and water. Too little moisture causes drought stress, reducing yields and plant vitality. Too much moisture reduces aeration, hampers root activity, and can lead to disease and overgrowth. With this meter, you can monitor water content in real time and irrigate with precision — saving water and boosting plant health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 2-in-1 soil pH and moisture meter require batteries?
A: No — this soil meter is completely battery-free. It uses the natural conductivity of moist soil to power its analog readings. Simply insert the probe into the soil and read the result directly from the display dial.
Q: What is the pH measurement range of this soil tester?
A: The meter measures soil pH in a range of 3 to 8 pH, with an accuracy of ±0.2 pH. This covers the full spectrum from strongly acidic to alkaline soil, making it suitable for a wide variety of crops, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
Q: Can I use this soil moisture and pH meter for indoor houseplants?
A: Absolutely! This compact tester is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. It works well in potted houseplants, garden beds, greenhouses, and open fields, helping you maintain the perfect growing environment wherever your plants are.
Q: How deep should I insert the probe for an accurate reading?
A: For best results, insert the probe to the recommended measurable depth of approximately 6 cm into the soil. Make sure the soil is moist enough to allow good contact with the probe for the most accurate pH and moisture readings.
