Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comDear Sir/Madam
I have a number of indoor plants in pots, and always worry about when to water. I have seen moisture meters online ranging in price from £5 up to over £100.
I would just like to pop into my local garden centre and get the cheaper probe type that just pushes into the soil and a meter on top gives a reading. But can they be any good at the price?
The Plants I am particularly worried about are Ficus Elastica, Ficus Benjamina, and Amazonica Alocasia
Thank you for your help
