• Keep probe close to the plant.
• Note moisture level and refer to the chart below for your plant's watering needs.

Light

• Note light level and refer to the chart below for your plant's light requirements.

Soil PH

• Push switch to the right.
• Insert probe deeply into the soil.
• A PH reading greater than 7 is alkaline, a reading less than 7 is acidic.
• Most indoor plants prefer slightly acidic soil with a PH between 6.5 and 7.
• Soil that is highly alkaline will cause the leaves to lose their color and stunt the growth of the plant.
• Acidic soil will cause the leaves to wilt and drop.
