PSA: Don't buy these or similar units. These are snake oil. They do not work nor are they accurate. (lemmy.ca)

Don't be afraid of the little reagent kits, they're easy to use and accurate and cheap! Think of them like little science kits. :)

Is it the ph part that doesn't work? I've never used one but I was considering DIYing some two-spike moisture sensors

I think it's the PH part from some other comments but I can confidently say the moisture part works pretty well. I have been using one for about a year and it's been helpful.

Oh, you've just made me remember @pothos on Twitter, which used to tweet out messages asking to be watered, and thanking the owner for watering them :)
