Plant Pal Moisture Meters
The bird that sings when your plant needs water – a patented Vectacor product. The two probes are designed to detect
the moisture level in standard household plant soil. When the moisture level is low the bird sings, the frog croaks, the
dog barks, the cat meows… to let you know it’s time to water your plant. Each plant pal is installed with a light sensor
so your plant pal won’t sing at night. Additionally, a recording version is offered in the shape of a sunflower – you can
record up to an 8 second message. This unit also includes a magnetic picture frame. Plant pals take two watch batteries,
which are included.
