A plant cannot grow if it doesn’t have healthy roots, therefore the proper balance of water is vital when growing plants Overwatering will let the roots to growing in waterlogged soil which may die because they cannot absorb the oxygen needed to function normally. The dying roots decay and can’t supply the plants with nutrients and water. At the same time If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.
Our Soil Moisture Indicator senses the moisture levels in the soil upto a depth of 30 cm (1 feet). Soil moisture indicator gives moisture status within 2-3 sec.
