I don't often recommend orchid tools because many of the same results can be achieved using cheap alternatives from WalMart or Wilkos. And I'm a firm believer in successful orchid growing coming from knowledge and experience rather than equipment.

However, the MOMET digital soil moisture tester is one of the best gadgets on the market for orchid enthusiasts that are serious about taking their orchid care to the next level.

Simply pop it into your orchid's potting mix and it will measure not only the moisture levels but also the temperature, light levels and humidity.

Maintaining the perfect moisture, light, humidity and temperature levels for your orchids will help increase their vitality and produce beautiful blooms.

Here's a video showing how it works:

You can get your own MOMET meter from Amazon.com if you live in the US.

If you live in the UK, you may be able to get a MOMET Meter from Peter White Orchids, however stock levels do vary.
