Siam Ruby seems to be sensitive to over watering so i generally check them with the meter before watering.
i got a moisture meter from b&q,and it didnt work for me,when i was sticking the probes in some of pots it was giving me the right results and yet some other pots diffrent,for example when my siam ruby leaves stated to turn yellow,i put the probes in the soil it was telling me it was moist,yet when i stuck my fingers in two inches it was dry,so i decided to trust my fingers,i watered the siam ruby and it started to pick up,maybe i had a faulty moisture meter.
