Finally, I Know Why My Plants Are So Sad (and My Skin is So Dry!) - ThermoPro TP50 Review
Okay, confession time. I’ve always been a bit of a plant killer. They’d look droopy, yellow, just… unhappy. And don’t even get me started on that static shock I’d get every time I touched my cat. I figured it was just me being a terrible plant parent or maybe my apartment was haunted by a dry, static-loving ghost. Then I saw this ThermoPro TP50 Digital Hygrometer pop up. For just $10.49, I thought, "Why not? Maybe knowing the actual humidity will help." I wasn’t expecting miracles, just a little bit of data.
Unboxing: Simple and Straightforward
The ThermoPro arrived in a pretty standard Amazon padded envelope, no fancy box. Inside, the thermometer itself was tucked into a clear plastic sleeve. It’s small, about the size of my palm, and surprisingly lightweight. The screen is nice and clear, and the buttons on the back felt pretty solid. No complaints here, it’s exactly what you’d expect for the price.
Living with the ThermoPro: A Revelation!
Placing this little guy on my bookshelf was eye-opening. Turns out, my apartment is basically a desert. The humidity levels were consistently in the 20s, which explains the sad plants and the zappy cat. Since getting it, I’ve been much more mindful. I’ve upped my plant watering game and even invested in a small humidifier for my bedroom. The difference is noticeable! The ThermoPro is super easy to read from across the room, and switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit is a breeze. It doesn’t make any noise, which is a huge plus.
What Others Are Saying:
Reading other reviews, a lot of people seem to use these for their humidors, baby rooms, or even RVs. Shipping is usually pretty quick, which is always a bonus. Some mention the backlight not being super bright, but honestly, I haven't found that to be an issue. Most people agree it’s a great value for the money.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate readings, easy to use, compact, affordable, great for monitoring plant health.
- Cons: No backlight (though not a dealbreaker for me).
Who’s This For?
Honestly, anyone who wants to have a better handle on their indoor environment. Plant enthusiasts, people living in dry climates, parents monitoring nurseries, or even just someone curious about their home’s air quality.
