Measure soil pH directly at the root zone for healthier plants and better growing results.
The Bluelab Soil pH Pen is a professional-quality, handheld digital tester designed to accurately measure pH and temperature directly in soil, potting mixes, coco coir, rockwool and other growing substrates. It can also be used to test nutrient solutions.
Understanding your growing medium's pH is essential for healthy plant development. Incorrect pH levels can restrict nutrient availability, affecting plant growth and overall performance.
With its specially designed tapered-tip probe, the Bluelab Soil pH Pen makes checking root-zone conditions quick and convenient without the need to prepare soil slurry samples.
Whether you're a home gardener, nursery operator, horticultural professional or hydroponic grower, this reliable testing tool helps you make informed decisions about soil management and nutrient availability.

Important Usage & Care Information
For accurate readings, the soil or growing substrate must contain sufficient moisture. When testing dry soil, add a small amount of distilled or deionised water and allow it to absorb before taking measurements.
Always keep the pH sensor properly hydrated using the recommended KCl storage solution, and calibrate as instructed by Bluelab.
Take the guesswork out of soil pH management with the Bluelab Soil pH Pen – a practical testing tool for confident growing.
