Hit or missMerissaAn inexpensive item but of the three I received only one seems to work properly2

My mom has about 6BOBMy mom has about 6 of these in the multitude of plants and it helps her keep an eye on the watering situation. Thank you.5
Best product on the marketJohannyCheaper than you could find in Amazon. It works! Perfect for helping indoor plants5
Water meterTisaDoes not work well keeps indicating water is needed but it’s not just keeps blinking2
Shorty56Very informative helps me with the watering5
Disappointedwayne In IndyI bought three of these because it is a great idea. However, if I watered as often as they blink my plants would be growing in mud. They pretty much blink no matter what most of the time, even when an actual moister meter is placed next to it and shows midlevel moister. And the little 3 position switch inside the battery compartment (which is never explained) makes no difference on any setting.1
Works well, but needs better documentationWolfcowIt took a little work to get it working in the first place, but it's done a very good job of keeping me from overwatering my plants. There are three things I think need to be stressed, however: 1) For most plants, just leave it in the middle setting. 2) The metal parts on the sensor must come very close to (or touch) the root mass of the plant. This requires some caution, as you don't want to damage the plant itself! 3) It's easiest to set it up right after watering, both to make sure that the sensor agrees that it's moist enough, and so the soil will yield to it as you jam it in place.4
Plant Water SensorGeeGee04Just what I needed to help care for my plants. Easy to use and budget-friendly.5
Doesn"t workEkoshyunTried diff batteries, it just keeps blinking and even when it is drenched, waste of money1
Easy Use But No How To DirectionsbspanBought one of these last weekend and super easy to use. I see a lot of people stating there were no how to directions and this is true, BUT a simple and easy online search led me to directions in no time. Not sure why other users didn't think to just Google the item prefer giving a bad review.4
The best thing invented!isacin75I will never over water my plants. This gadget works great! I highly recommend it. I will be buying some more.5

Story

Our take on plastic

Plastic is a key material for IKEA, and remains so going forward. It is strong, durable, lightweight and versatile. It is a main component in a large amount of our products and has a wide variety of applications from surface materials such as paint and foil, to screws and shelf pegs. There is a lot of valid concern regarding how plastic impacts the environment and at IKEA we take this very seriously. As part of our larger circular journey and transition from virgin fossil based material, we are working hard to change all plastic in our home furnishing products to plastic made from recycled and/or renewable raw materials.

Only recycled or renewable plastics

Plastic is most commonly derived from oil and gas, which are non-renewable fossil sources. These sources do not renew themselves and will eventually be depleted. Our ambition is that by 2030, all plastic used in our products will be based on renewable or recycled materials. Renewable plastic is made from materials such as vegetable oil, corn, wheat grain and sugar cane. Recycled plastic allows us to give a second life to non-biodegradable products such as PET bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Using recyclable sources also lessens our dependency on oil as a raw material. Currently more than 40% of our plastic products are based on recycled and renewable materials and our aim is to reach 100%. As we add products made from recycled and renewable materials to our offer, we hope to inspire other companies to do the same.

Phasing out single-use plastics

Single-use plastic items pollute ecosystems if not disposed of responsibly. As part of our commitment to people and the planet, all single-use plastic products from the global home furnishing range were phased out in 2020. This includes items such as plates, cups, and plastic straws offered in our restaurants, bistros, and cafes. These were replaced by disposables made from 100% renewable sources.

PET and PP our most commonly used plastics

Polythylene terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) are durable, hygienic and shatter-resistant plastics. They absorb very little water and have good chemical resistance. Both PET and PP can be reused and recycled, which reduces waste and gives the product several lives through use and reuse. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world and can be used for many different purposes such as plastic bottles and containers for packaging food and beverages as well as for personal care products, pharmaceuticals and many other consumer products. At IKEA we mainly use recycled PET in boxes, filling material for textiles and kitchen front foil. PET is approved by health-agencies as safe to use for food and beverage. IKEA uses recycled PET that is post-consumer based, which means it is based on collected and sorted PET bottles.

Clean and safe

IKEA takes product safety very seriously and all products are tested and comply with the strictest possible laws and safety standards on all IKEA markets. Customers should always feel confident that products bought at IKEA are safe and healthy to use. IKEA wants to minimize or totally refrain from the use of chemicals and substances that can be harmful to people and the environment.

Together, we can do more

Our journey towards only using recycled or renewable plastic will take some time and require new ways of doing things, but we are determined to take responsibility and find new solutions. We want to give our customers the possibility to choose products made from more sustainable materials that can be recycled again one day. Together, we can make a big difference!
