Electrode Pads vs. Clips vs. Mushroom Clips

The electrode pads (the sticky oval sensors) that come with your PlantWave are reusable and intended for longer listening sessions. The pads connect to leads, which are the white wires that snap onto the pads. While they can often be left in place for extended periods, plants vary in sensitivity. We recommend occasionally checking and adjusting pad placement or using the clips instead, particularly if the leaf is thin, delicate, or in a humid environment, to keep your plant healthy.

The electrode clips are not intended for long-term use on plants. These are best used on plants that have leaves too small or delicate for pads. They also come in handy when using PlantWave in situations where you want to switch from one plant to another quickly and easily.

The white mushroom clips are a more delicate sensor specifically designed for use with fungi. It is not recommended for use with plants as it will not consistently pick up a signal. For the best results with plants, please use the included electrode pads or metal clips.
