Use a Wooden Stick as a Moisture Meter

If you don't want to buy a moisture meter to tell if your plant needs watering, opt for a wooden stick instead. The wooden stick goes into the plant's soil, and if your plant's moist, it will show dirt when it's pulled out. If it's dry, there will be no dirt.
