 bad product August 19, 2010

I purchased 5 of these and all of them failed by corrosion in a matter of weeks in regular indoor potted plant soil. This product was inaccurate and poorly tested.
Works for a while then fails due to poor manufacturing June 19, 2010

I bought four of the 6" WaterStiks a few months ago, at first they worked fine but three of them have failed since.
Humidity got in between the layers of the printed circuit board and corroded the sensor's electrode leading to wildly inaccurate readings ( read as overwatered even though the soil was too dry ).
Dubious accuracy February 1, 2010

The WaterStik is a great concept. It is simple and easy to use, looks nice and is inexpensive. But in my experience it just does not work. I tried it in two different house plants, at different depths in the soil and in both cases it signals the need for watering almost immediately -- regardless of how long it had been since I had watered the plant. I took it to a friend who is a master gardener who had just water her poinsettia by submerging the root ball in a bucket. Within minutes after insertion in the soil it started blinking -- indicating the need for watering.
I emailed the manufacturer two weeks ago and have not had a response.

This is a great little product. Before I had this product, I'd always forget to water my potted plants and they would dry out and die. Now I get a warning whenever the soil is too dry, and it has saved the lives of many of my plants. It's very slender and unobrusive so it can be used in even the smallest of containers. I also like the fact that it can monitor the soil moisture by pressing the button - when it's blue its over watered, and when it's green it's just right. When the light is yellow, is nearly dry. This makes the perfect gift for anyone who has potted plants, I've given several away to friends, and family, and they all agree it's a great product.
