monstera plant moisture meter PlantDoc Moisture Meter - Mini MonsteraWhat is PlantDoc? You've just found the world's first and only 100% biodegradable, plastic free moisture meter. Meet PlantDoc. Saving lives, one plant at a time. The favourite tool of over waterers, under waterers and worried plant parents. Just what the (plant) doctor ordered to help solve your water worries. How does PlantDoc work? PlantDoc is a colour changing moisture meter that stays in your plant's pot, monitoring the moisture level at a glance.

What is PlantDoc?


You've just found the world's first and only 100% biodegradable, plastic-free moisture meter. Meet PlantDoc. Saving lives, one plant at a time. The favourite tool of over-waterers, under-waterers and worried plant parents. Just what the (plant) doctor ordered to help solve your water worries. 


How does PlantDoc work?


PlantDoc is a colour-changing moisture meter that stays in your plant's pot, monitoring the moisture level at a glance. No more guesswork. Pop it in a dry plant, white side facing out, and water as usual.


PlantDoc changes colour in response to the wet soil and the pattern appears. Your PlantDoc will slowly return to white as the soil dries out and it's time to water again. Simple!

What is PlantDoc made from?


PlantDoc is made from 100% biodegradable, compostable, sustainably-sourced plant-based fibres with non-toxic hydrochromatic colour-changing ink.


When it's ready to replace, pop it in the garden or your compost and PlantDoc completely breaks down with no residues. Safe for curious hands and paws with no harmful dyes or chemicals, making PlantDoc pet safe and kid safe. No batteries required.  

 

What comes in the box?


One box includes 5 PlantDocs, enough for around one years supply for one plant. One PlantDoc lasts one to six months each (depending on your soil type and watering frequency), so one 5 pack lasts from 5 to 30 months all up. All for just $4 per PlantDoc.


Sustainable, safe, non-toxic, biodegradable AND budget-friendly, a win for plants, plant parents, pets and the planet 💚


What substrates work best?


It might seem obvious, but because PlantDoc absorbs water from the substrate, which makes it change colour to tell you when to water when it dries out again, the substrate makes a difference. If your substrate barely holds much water, PlantDoc won't have as much water to absorb, and won't give as clear readings. That means fine to medium grade substrates with medium to high water retention work best.


Substrates with very low water retention can still work to some extent, but you won't get as accurate readings (like chunky or bark-based substrates), so they aren't the best match for using PlantDoc. No different than other water meters. Chunky substrates don't work well with any water meters. 


How to read PlantDoc


PlantDoc will change colour when wet and slowly return to white as the soil dries. You can decide when to water based on how dry your plant prefers to be.


MOIST

Peace Lily, Maranta, Stromanthe, Fern, Aglaonema, Anthurium and similar


For plants that like to stay lightly moist and are prone to dry leaf tips and margins if left dry for long, water again when PlantDoc is about 1/4 to 1/2 dry*


PARTIALLY DRY

Monstera, Philodendron, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Scindapsus, Epipremnum, Pothos and similar

For plants that prefer partially drying out before watering again, water again when PlantDoc is around 3/4 dry*


FULLY DRY

Hoya, Peperomia, ZZ and similar

For plants that like to fully dry between watering, water again when PlantDoc is fully dry*


DRY FOR A WHILE

Cacti and similar

For plants that love dry conditions for a while between watering, note when PlantDoc turns fully white and water again lightly in a couple of months* 


*Remember ALL moisture meters are only a guide, not gospel. They don't know what type of plant they're in. Moisture meters can only tell you what the moisture level is where they are in the plant, not when to water. You still need to decide when to water according to your plant's needs and your conditions. Moisture meters are a tool to help you read the signs. Don't ignore your plants other signs they need water, such as wilting.


How long does one PlantDoc last?


Although it does depend on how often you water and your type of soil, one PlantDoc normally lasts to 6 months. However (based on my own plants and watering habits), I found it was more around 1 to 3 months in my conditions.


In general I find for plants in a finer soil or plants that prefer to be maintained lightly moist (like a Peace Lily) it'll last shorter, vs plants in a grittier or chunkier mix that like to dry out fully between watering like Succulents and Cacti, where PlantDoc will last a lot longer. PlantDoc also 'reads' moisture better in soil types that are finer or hold more water.

Water your plant, not your PlantDoc! That can shorten its life. PlantDoc breaks down faster in always-wet, finer, more compact soil and lasts longer in drier, aroid-type potting mixes and with plants that prefer to dry out between watering.


When do you change PlantDoc?


You'll know when it's time for a new PlantDoc to take over when your PlantDoc no longer changes colour within half an hour of watering.


PlantDoc is also a great alert for pests and to help protect plant roots, as soil pests like fungus gnat larvae will chomp on your PlantDoc instead of your plant's roots. 


Why does PlantDoc turn brown?


Over time, some types of soils might stain your PlantDoc a brownish colour. More common with new soil or peat-based soils and new bark that have a higher tannin content. The same reason some plants turn drainage water yellowy-brown when you water them. Don't worry, that won't change the performance of your PlantDoc (but you can always change it early for the aesthetics if it does bother you).  


How does PlantDoc compare to other moisture meters?


All moisture meters have their pro's and con's but it can help to compare them to make the best choice for you and your plants. PlantDoc is the only fully biodegradable, plastic-free moisture meter in the world (patent pending).


SUSTEE

The closest type is Sustee. They also last a similar time, they also change colour, but Sustee is made of plastic (the core inside is partially compostable once you remove the plastic parts). PlantDoc is fully compostable and more budget-friendly.

Sustee cost between $16 and $22 per plant with refills around $8 to $11 per plant. PlantDoc are less than $5 per plant. Sustee do have 3 different sizes the largest size makes them better for deeper pots. PlantDoc is best from small to medium pots and measures the top 2 inches / 5cms of soil. Sustee are better for deeper pots. Like PlantDoc, Sustee don't work as well in chunkier substrates.


DIGITAL MOISTURE METERS

Unlike most digital meters, PlantDoc requires no batteries and can (and should!) be left in the plant. Digital water meters need to be moved from plant to plant manually to find out the moisture level. PlantDoc stays in the plant. 


3 IN 1 METERS

PlantDoc is more accurate than 3 in 1 type water meters with probes and gives you an immediate reading as you leave PlantDoc in your plant. The metal probes that 3 in 1 meters are made from erode in water so must NOT be left in plants, and need to be removed, cleaned and kept dry between use.  


PlantDoc don't last forever (I get 1 to 3 months use in my plants), but are fully biodegradable and 100% plastic-free. Good for our plants and the planet!

Great Vacuum
Configuration: Vacuum
I've had my vacuum for several months now. It is fantastic on hardwood floors and does a great job on furniture and stairs. The vacuum is very lightweight and quiet, making it easy to use in our two story, open plan house. Previously, I would get dirty looks from my husband if I tried to run the vacuum upstairs while he was watching television in the living area. I first purchased a Miele C1 series vacuum last year to replace my upstairs vacuum. I love that vacuum, but it has limitations as far as doing area rugs and carpet. My previous vacuums have all been Kenmore canister vacuums, and that was the only brand I would buy. I gave the Miele C1 a chance when Amazon had it at a special price. I then purchased this model, the C3, after several months because the vacuum I used downstairs started having issues. This vacuum is so lightweight and easy to carry up and down stairs that I probably should have splurged on the C3 model to begin with, as I almost always end up carrying the C3 upstairs to do the carpet in the bedroom anyway. My previous Kenmore canister vacs were very heavy and were almost impossible for me to carry safely on the stairs. While the C1 has attachments that are on a very poorly designed holder that is supposed to clip on the hose (doesn't stay there), this model has attachments inside the canister making them much more accessible and safe from being lost. My biggest complaint about this vacuum is the power brush. I have 6 cats - 3 long-haired rescues and 3 Maine Coon cats. If you are familiar with Maine Coon breed, you know they are all about fur, lots and lots of fur. We have to do a lot of brushing in our house, and our vacuums have to work hard. I discovered that the power brush is quickly overpowered with cat fur sticking on the roller brush, and I need to take small scissors after every use on a carpet and remove all the fur before the next use. It is a tedious chore and I can't believe a vacuum at this price point doesn't have a better power brush design. It does a good job cleaning the carpets, but you do have to keep after the cleaning of the brush roller. I did not have to do that with my Kenmore turbo brush. Thankfully, we only have 2 carpeted rooms in our house, and a few area rugs, so mostly I am vacuuming hardwood and it does a fantastic job on that.

Best cleaning Investment you can make
Configuration: Vacuum
I have Dyson to thank for this purchase. I wanted a quiet, light, high quality vacuum that was reputable and highly rated. I had the Dyson V8 which was only really useful in the high settings, aka 7 min run time. Unless you have the patience going over the same area in the low setting. I found this vacuum through many good reviews, recommendations and a feature on a USA today article. I was hesitant spending that much money on a vacuum but after seeing how much I cleaned with a quiet vacuum in the Dyson V8 ( which I ended up returning), I made the plunge. Being able to pay the 5 installment payments on Amazon really helped make the purchase easier as well 😬. Things I really liked about the Vacuum: Its quiet. Coming from an old upright, I'm surprised how I can vacuum at midnight and not worry about the noise. Its light. You're just using the light hose while the unit rolls behind you. Makes vacuuming blinds super easy. The Dyson V8 was a chore at this. The whole unit itself is really light too, where I notice I vacuum my truck more than usual now days. Its powerful. Don't let the low sound fool you, I compared this with my Old Eureka upright vacuum and couldn't believe the suction was the same! Things I would like improved: Distinguishing Buttons for the bottom Power and Cord retract. I put blue painters tape on the cord retract button to make it quickly identifiable. More modern Hardwood floor brush. Maybe one like the Dyson soft rolling brush? Better Bag Fully indicator. Indicator basically throws you off because it goes by the resistance of the suction. So when you're vacuuming floors to even using the small brush attachment, it keeps going wild. Other than those small gripes, I REALLY LOVE THIS VACUUM! While cordless vacuums seems to be the trend now days, I prefer the stable reliable power of the cord. Having the retractable cord button really helps too. And although I like how bagless vacuums let you monitor how much dirt you're sucking up, the clean up of bagged vacuums are a lot less messier. But to each their own. I highly recommend this Unit!

Keeps ALL it's promises
Configuration: Vacuum
12/27/18 I have been using this vac over a year to clean our home's hardwood and vinyl floors and low pile area rugs. Disclaimer: we are not related to the company in any way, shape or form - have to say that because this review may sound like a commercial! This vacuum is small, quiet, very powerful and fulfills every promise the company makes about it. This unit comes with 3 small tools contained in the unit, 1 hard floor tool (vacuum powered) and 1 low pile carpet tool (vacuum powered). The 2 floor tools clip onto the sides of the canister. There are 6 power settings from a low for drapes to a high for hardwood floors, all marked with an icon. The power cord IS EXTRA LONG - yes, fewer plug changes - and the re-tractor works beautifully (I do let the cord slid through my fingers and catch the plug end to keep it from slamming into the back out of habit). The wand section is collapsible, which I just thought was nice for storage until I began using that feature while vacuuming in tight spaces, where you can change the wand length on the fly. The floor tools' articulated connection to the hose looks quirky until you begin using it; it makes the tool head extremely nimble in getting into tight spaces. The hard floor head has a skip tooth brush pattern around the edge which pulls in dust instead of pushing dust in front of it. The suction works all the way out to the ends - it will pull dust into the head from ALL the way around. The dust bag and separate HEPA filter have markers to let you know when to change them. I haven't changed either yet (note: we do not have pets, the house is vacuumed weekly). It tracks easily and the side bumper strips are placed where they actually work! Problems? well it is expensive, but I don't see replacing it any time soon. Seriously, I am still amazed at how well built and well thought out this unit is.

I absolutely hate this vacuum.
Configuration: Vacuum
I bought it due to the positive reviews and was tired of my Dyson ball vacuum. Since day one I have had nothing but problems with a vomit like smell that comes out of this vacuum every time we use it. It got to the point that we have replaced the filter with expensive carbon filters, washed out the hoses and attachments with bleach, and nothing has worked to get this thing to smell better. To make matters worse, the suction power of this thing is limited at best compared to other vacuums we have owned. I can go over the carpet with my old Dyson and pick up a significant amount of dirt that the miele cannot even come close to getting. I wish I had returned it when I still had a chance. We have now bought a iRobot Roomba 980 and honestly it is 100x better than the Miele piece of junk that just sits in the closet now. It has strong suction power, is easier to clean, and keeps the house clean.
