xMeet Sustee Aquameter
The Sustee Aquameter is a leave-in soil moisture sensor pen designed for continuous insight into your plant’s root zone. In this large green set, five sensors stay put in pot soil to track moisture over days, weeks, and seasons. The compact device measures 10.04 x 0.39 x 0.31 inches, and is well suited for pots in the 6 to 12 inch range. This thoughtful tool helps you observe moisture patterns without disturbing your plants.
Made in Japan and refined through collaboration with Tokyo University of Agriculture, this award-winning design emphasizes reliability and ease of use. It requires no batteries, so there is less maintenance and more time spent enjoying your plants. The result is a clean, unobtrusive addition to indoor greenery that blends with modern interiors.
Why it helps your plants
Healthy indoor greens rely on balanced moisture. The Aquameter provides a visual signal you can trust at a glance, reducing the guesswork that comes with watering. Use it with a variety of potted plants, from leafy ferns to flowering favorites. The color indicator supports quick decisions, while the inert design keeps the soil undisturbed during checks.
How it works
Each stick remains in soil for ongoing monitoring. The color indicator changes with soil moisture and type: white signals a watering need; blue shows watering has occurred. Reading the colors offers a fast, at-a-glance reference, and the leave-in form means you won’t routinely remove the sensor for checks.
Note on soil types: readings and color cues can vary with soil composition and moisture retention. Use the color change as a practical guide rather than a precise gauge, and tailor care to each plant’s routine.
What’s in the box and long-lasting design
- Five refillable Sustee watering sticks (green)
- Refillable replacement core for ongoing use
Maintenance-free and long-lasting
Each stick is designed to last roughly 6 to 9 months with typical home use. The system is maintenance-free and battery-free, minimizing upkeep. The leave-in design keeps hands clean while you observe moisture cues and adjust watering as needed.
Real-life setups and tips
Place the sticks across a collection of potted plants on a windowsill or shelf. Group the color cues by plant so you can quickly tell which pots may need water. Pair the five sticks for a larger plant or to cover multiple vessels in the same room, creating a simple moisture map for your space.
Why choose Sustee
