One simple tool every gardener needs
March 28, 2023I have the one simple tool you need to solve just about any plant problems in a hurry. Picture it, your leafbaby is not looking like it should and you need to take action but you don’t know what to do. Whether it’s yellow wilty leaves, or brown leaf tips or white spots. This one tool will help you with a fast diagnosis so you can get your plant on the road to recovery.
As a plant parent, you already know your plants need a specific range of temperatures. Also, they need the right balance of water and light. Some plants like acidic soil and others like more basic or neutral. Since you’re not a plant you can’t really know what’s affecting your leafbabies.
Imagine if there were one simple tool that answered your question – Is this environment right for my darling dieffenbachia? Is this the most stellar setting for my star sarcococca? Is this the wrong window for my Weigela? Well there is, and it’s inexpensive.
So what is the one simple tool every gardener should have?
It’s the three in one soil moisture, PH, and sun tester of course! This super inexpensive little gem can answer all of your questions from watering frequency, to replanting in larger pots or whether you you can move your plant to a different space. Also, it can help you both before AND after you’ve made a mistake.
How many times have you gone on a gardening forum and asked for help? Have you offered advice on how to save a sagging sage? We’ve all been there, because gardeners are a great group of people. While helping budding gardeners by bailing them out with a quick fix is a good step, an even better advice would be to show them the signals that a plant will succeed in the first place.
Enter the 3 in one moisture sensor, light sensor, PH meter. One simple tool that will tell any gardener indoor or out if their plant is placed properly, for the required amount of light. One simple tool that will quickly let even the newest gardeners know if their soil is too damp or too dry. And one simple tool to signal when it might be time to add fertilizer or change out soil.
The instructions could not be easier, and become awesomely apparent right out of the box. Want to know if your space has the right amount of light? Just flip the switch and hold the tool in the location where your plant will go (or already is) to see whether that’s full sun, or partial shade. You can even do this a few times per day to get an understanding of how many hours of direct or indirect light will be there. Do you think you’re ready for watering? Set the switch to moisture, insert the probe to the desired depth and check… No more guessing, over or under watering! Is your leaf baby showing signs of stress all of a sudden? Flip that switch to PH and check to see if it’s time to fertilize or amend your soil.
