Blumat Digital
The original Austrian tensiometer for soil, now available in the USA. Blumat measures the suction your plant's roots actually feel and shows you a real reading from 0 to 250 mbar. Press the button and stop guessing when to water.
Installation Guide
How to Set Up Your System
Takes just a few minutes. Once set up, your plants water themselves.
Step 1
Soak the Sensor
Remove the digital top, soak the bottom for 15 minutes, fill with water and put top back on.
Step 2
Insert at Root Level
Place the ceramic tip in the root zone or near the plant and push it in 30-80% of the way.
Step 3
Wait to Read
Allow 45 minutes after placement for the reading to stabilize.
Step 4
Check mbar
Press the button and use the mbar value to know whether the soil is moist or dry.
Important setup note
The digital top isn't waterproof; it shouldn't be left in the rain without a cap.
Handy mbar guide
0–50 mbar (saturated), 50–100 mbar (ideal/moist), 120–190 mbar (dry/irrigation time).
Perfect For You If...
You Prefer Low Maintenance
Set everything up once and enjoy a simple watering solution that works automatically in the background.
You Tend to Overwater
The system only releases water when the soil becomes dry, reducing the risk of overwatering.
You Travel Frequently
Helps maintain healthy hydration while you're away, so plants stay cared for even when no one is home.
You Forget to Water
Keeps moisture levels more consistent, helping protect plants from drying out between waterings.

Everything you need to know before getting started.
The system does not require electricity, timers, or pumps to operate. It continues watering normally even during power outages.
Yes. The system works well with larger pots, raised beds, and mature plants. You can also expand the setup with additional drippers to distribute water more evenly across bigger growing areas.
Most starter kits include everything needed to begin watering your plants. You may only need a separate water container like a bucket or reservoir depending on your setup.
Not at all. If you can use scissors, you can set this up. Simply soak the ceramic sensors, fill them with water, place them into the soil, and connect the tubing between each plant.
