The problem is\nthat the surface of the soil can feel dry while the root zone below is still\nsaturated. By the time visible symptoms appear on the plant, root damage is\nusually already done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Searles moisture probe reads conditions at root level rather than at\nthe surface, giving you an accurate basis for your watering decision every\ntime. Particularly reliable for potted plants and container gardens, where\ndrainage conditions vary and surface moisture is a poor indicator of what is\nhappening deeper in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for all indoor and outdoor plants including moisture-sensitive\ntropicals, aroids, succulents, herbs, flowering shrubs and garden beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use the Searles Moisture Probe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInsert the probe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush the probe into the soil near the plant root zone, avoiding the root\nball directly.
