I do. But I rip off the ph probe. I don’t try and keep them moist. I let them dry out to about 2 (that’s about when the soil stops sticking to the probe).
I bought 4 of them and they stopped working within a week what a waste,
It’s so easy to know if your plants need water, feel your soil with your finger or lift the pot and feel the weight eventually you can just look at them and know.
Wish they were better quality because my roomates are still learning how to tell when to water lol
