Are you killing your plants by watering them too often? Or are you more likely to forget?

The Sustee Aquameter is a clever little device that tells you when to water your plant, and when not to. Just pop this fail-safe device into the soil of your pot plant and you’ll never be left guessing again!

After watering your plant the Sustee device absorbs moisture at the root level, just like your plant. As the level of absorbed water rises (takes 10-15 minutes), the indicator gradually turns blue.

Then just leave the Sustee where it is. You will know it's time to water when the colour changes from blue to white. It really is that simple!

Small - 120mm tall - Best for pots under 11cm in diameter.
Medium - 180mm tall - Best for pots 11-18cm in diameter.
Large - 255mm tall - Best for pots over 18cm in diameter.

Sustee stays in place so it does not disturb your growing roots.

Sustee’s inner core is 100% natural, made from non-woven cotton, and can be easily replaced - shop refills. Depending on the type of soil used, the inner core has a life span of 6 to 24 months. Sustee’s body is made from durable, high quality polycarbonate.

Works very well

We recently bought the Sustee Aquameter from Backyard Botanist. We were served by a very helpful young lady who explained the options really well and demonstrated the product for us. Using it since for our outdoor plants in pots on our balcony it has been very helpful. It’s very quick and easy to use. It is also amazing how you really don’t have any idea how much moisture is in a pot, it’s stopped us from overwatering! Very happy thank you.
