Blumat Digital Water/Moisture Level Sensor Meter “20cm”
20.000 KD
Instrument for measuring soil moisture (or dryness) in pots.
Measures soil moisture as an aide for making dependable watering decisions, especially for larger planting tubs as well as individual plants in the ground, for instance, in a winter garden or greenhouse.
It is impossible to judge the amount of moisture present inside the soil ball in a pot or in general around the roots just with the eye or by feeling the surface with a finger. (The surface can be dry even when there still is enough moisture within.) Watering often takes place based on guesswork or when the plants are already wilting. This causes stress and has an adverse effect on plant growth.
The so-called Tensiometer measures or indicates the suction force with which the roots absorb water. This force (measured as subpressure in a tube and displayed in mbar) provides a measure for moisture levels: high value = dry, low value = moist. The measuring range is from 10-750 mbar, typical values range between 100 – 300 mbar. The sensor is able to measure moisture levels in all types of soil and peat as well as in not overly coarse clay granulate substrates.
Length of the sensor approx. 24 cm, maximum inserting depth approx. 18 cm.
Delivery includes: measuring probe with attached sensor (complete sensor)

- Know the moisture level near plant roots
- Easy to add on and use
- Digital sensor tells you of over-watered soil
- Accurate, no guessing
- No dry roots
A super accurate way to know the moisture level near your roots. Often the moisture near the surface where you can feel is fine while the soil near the roots is dry as dust – or the reverse: dry at the surface and over-watered at the roots. Seasonal differences can cause these conditions to rapidly reverse. With this Blumat Digital Sensor, you won’t have to guess! You’ll know exactly if your plants need water or not.
Comes in clear tube with precise instructions and number readings that apply for different seasons and different kinds of plants.
It works in a similar way to the Tropf-Blumat but it does not control watering. It measures the levels of moisture and/ or dryness. It operates using the tensiometer principle and indicates the amount of force necessary for a plant to absorb water.
This method of measurement allows for very accurate recognition of the level of moisture near the roots and therefore, a more exact application of water – whether by hand in large container plantings. For example, when over- wintering plants, it’s very important to keep a moderate moisture level – sometimes harder than watching for this during the growing season. And of course in the summer for monitoring and adjusting your watering schedules. Knowing the moisture level in large containers is no longer a matter guesswork and experience, but rather of concrete numerical data.
The lower the number readings, the drier the soil. On average, the standard Blumat setting of two arrows down from a drop holding = 120 mb.
