Meet SUSTEE
SUSTEE is a modern, Japanese soil moisture sensor. The blue color indicates that there is enough water in the soil, and the while color indicate that plant is in need of watering. SUSTEE features a minimal aesthetic that doesn't take away from the beauty of your plants.
SUSTEE
Color
Has your SUSTEE turned white? That means it is time to water! After watering, the white insert will change to a blue color. This indicates that there is enough water in the soil.
Soil
SUSTEE can be used with almost all plants that grow in soils with a certain level of moisture retention. This includes akadama soil, black earth, bark, coco peat, peat moss and vermiculite.
Insertion Depth
When inserting SUSTEE, please ensure that the Ω mark found on the stick is entirely covered. Please also make sure that the transpiration opening is visible if the stick is needing to go deeper.
Time
The time it takes to change color will depend on the amount of water given and the water retention level. When using SUSTEE for the first time, please water generously. The small stick takes approximately 3 minutes, the medium 15 minutes, and the large 25 minutes.

This water soil sensor so easy to use and clear when the soil is dry! Almost all of my plants have one.

Like a time clock, they let you know when it’s time to water your plants which is saved me quite a few plants as I tend to overwater. They are really pricey, but they work so well that I actually bought another set. I certain couldn’t afford to buy anymore, but I really enjoy what I’ve got.

I absolutely love this meter. I can judge the water needs of each plant. I get the meter to turn completely blue, from there I can water or not depending on the shade of blue. They are quite expensive especially since I want one for each plant. But here goes buying another dozen.

Very handy if you want to know the moisture of your soul without sticking your fingers in the dirt. Only complaint is they seem to stop working after a few months. Sometimes you can get them to work again by putting them in a different spot in the pot. Do note, that you shouldn't solely rely on them to know when to water, some plants need to be wet all the time others want to dry completely out for a bit. Look up your plant's care to see its needs. Gave 4 stars cuz they do stop working after awhile and they seem a bit pricey for being disposable

I would have a such lush plants if I had gotten these earlier. These work well for someone like me who forgets to water plants on a regular basis. So far so good.

This moisture meter works extremely well and I no longer have to finger the soil of all my potted plants. Expensive, yes, but worth it... absolutely! Will continue to buy more and recommend these to other plant parents.

They are all working.. it's the first time to use these moisture meters so l find that they become white very quickly and l am watering my plants many days earlier than l usually do. .. but it's good for beginners who have no idea when to water as over watering kills plants. I will probably buy more longer ones for my bigger pots.

I collect some very water picky houseplants ( calatheas, begonias, ficus, and alocasia tonnage a few) having something visual to see when I should check the soil is a complete game changer! Sometime plants are pushing out new leaves and take in more water during that time. Unless you check you plants' soil daily, you might not know!OR if you're like most people who OVERWATER then waiting for the indicator to turn white to check you soil would be helpful too!The soil aquameters do have a harder time with super chunky soil like hoya or snake plants but if you water those species when the meter turns white, you'd most likely be overwatering 🤷♀️Love them for everything else though!

I only have outdoor potted plants and had previously just watered all of them as soon as I would notice one specific plant looking wilted. However, this hasn't worked well for the other plants, and I had sadly realized they have varying watering needs. In researching plant care on YouTube, I noticed a person using some sort of stick in their potted plants. So, I checked Amazon and came upon these Ippinka Sustee Aquameters, of which I purchased 12 medium-sized ones. I have already inserted them into my potted plants and have been monitoring the blue versus white color of the inserts. I've already noticed my "specific" plant's stick showing White/needing water, while the other plants' sticks still indicate Blue/don't water yet. Hey, I'm no expert here, but, yup, been drowning the others. Darn.
