3. Erstreinigung: Before first use, gently wipe the metal probe with a clean, dry cloth.

Bedienungsanleitung

1. Sonde einführen: Gently insert the metal probe into the soil of the plant you wish to test. For accurate readings, insert the probe deep enough to reach the root zone, typically 2/3 to 3/4 of the pot's depth. Avoid forcing the probe, which could damage plant roots or the meter.
2. Lesen Sie die Uhrzeit: Wait approximately 60 seconds for the needle on the dial to stabilize. The dial will indicate the moisture level:
   • Red Zone (DRY): Indicates the soil is very dry and the plant likely needs water.
   • Green Zone (MOIST): Indicates optimal moisture levels. Watering may not be necessary.
   • Blue Zone (WET): Indicates the soil is very wet, potentially over-watered. Reduce watering frequency.
3. Remove the Probe: After taking a reading, gently pull the probe straight out of the soil.
4. Nach Gebrauch reinigen: Always wipe the probe clean with a dry cloth after each use to prevent corrosion and ensure accurate future readings. Do not use water or abrasive cleaners on the probe.
