The easiest, and most beautifully designed water meter we've ever used.
Designed and made in Japan, Sustee makes it simple to know when to water your plant. Sustee's window is blue when your plants have enough water and turns white when it's time to water your plants. It's so simple!
Sustee is different from other moisture meters. It detects your plant's ability to absorb water, not how much water is in the soil, so it works in all kinds of soils and plants.
How to Use
1. Insert Sustee into the soil, within a 20 cm radius of your plant.
2. Ensure that it's deep enough so that the surface of the soil is between the two arrows marked on the meter. ▶◀
3. Water your plant generously the first time. This will activate your Sustee and it will turn blue.
4. When Sustee turns white, it's time to water again. Follow the usual watering amount for the plant and the meter will turn blue again.
FAQ
Does SUSTEE work for different types of plants?
Yes, it does! There is a beneficial soil moisture range shared by all plants. It's called "available water capacity", which works as a common denominator for moisture management for all plants, preventing them from root rot and drying up.
Sustee helps you to water the right way to maintain this beneficial moisture range.
How long does it take SUSTEE to change colour after watering?
It depends on the amount of water given and the water retention level. The periods given below are rough guides. With some soils it can take up to an hour. Remember to water generously when you use SUSTEE for the first time.
Size Small: Approx. 3 minutes
Size Medium: Approx. 15 minutes
Size Large: Approx. 25 minutes

Let customers speak for us
from 587 reviewsI’ve bought a couple of plants from Frondly and always got great advice. The plants are ofe excellent quality and they have all thrived. I also love the locally designed Kanso pots - they are sturdy and very well made.
This was a gift for my cousin and she loved it. Great choice of plants and pots and very easy to order.

Bambi the Staghorn Fern, Small Mounted
Had a great experience from the moment I walked in the shop for the first time. The staff was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Will be coming back here again as I add more plants to my space.
I bought a ponytail Palm as a birthday gift and it was delivered as scheduled. Perfect timing, happy customer!
I found this shop as I was walking my dog in the area and stumbled in to have a look because I can’t resist a plant shop or nursery. It is relatively small but full of wonderful, not so ordinary, houseplants. The Japanese ceramic pots are gorgeous but a little out of my budget that day. I spoke with a young man who answered my questions about some of my more challenging houseplants. I ended up purchasing a nice pair of gardening sheers and a funky yellow stem/vine support.
Happy with the plant, but was wondering at the base there are some brown leaves, Thanks
The staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable. They are patient and provide some great tips on how to maintain your plants. The mix I bought from them also helped my plants notably grow as compared ones from other garden centres. Would recommend!
I bought 3 plants for my mom for Xmas. She has a busy schedule and frondly made delivery time arrangements flexible. The owner is one of the nicest people I’ve spoken with in awhile.

I already have one but this one was so beautiful and bushy I couldn’t resist. As always, the service is great and their plants are healthy. Frondly is the best plant store!
