Fertometer Soil Nutrient Meter
Fertometer - nutrient meter
The Fertometer® measures the level of nutrients in the soil of your potted plants and uses a light to indicate feeding requirements. Nutrients are mainly nitrogen, and others like phosphorus and potassium.
How to operate?
Insert the Fertometer's probe into the soil and press the button.
- RED: Do not add fertiliser if the red light shows
- GREEN: A green light indicates that your plant has sufficient nutrients in the soil
- YELLOW: A yellow light indicates that your plant requires feeding
In short: the Fertometer makes it possible for you to provide the ideal conditions for your plant.
For which plants can the Fertometer® be used?
You can use it for all potted plants, both indoor and outdoor plants. Common potted plants are geraniums, surfinias, fuchsias and numerous small plants such as marigold, petunias and verbenas. The Fertometer is also eminently suitable for use with indoor varieties such as the ficus, begonias, cyclamen and hibiscus, and even for exotic plants such as palm trees, bamboos and bananas. It is not suited for orchids and plants which thrive on poor soil, as well as for seedlings or cuttings.
To use to Fertometer, you need a flat 9V battery, model 6LR61, which is not included.
