Meet Deb & the Sustee Team

We know that feeling... standing over a plant wondering, "Does it need water, or will I kill it if I water it again?" If you've ever lost a favourite plant to over or under-watering, you're not alone. That's exactly why we fell in love with Sustee.

Made in Japan, Sustee is a simple watering indicator that takes the guesswork out of plant care, telling you when your plant actually needs water.

Behind Sustee Australia is a small team of passionate plant lovers, backed by over 40 years of nursery and horticultural experience. Deb has spent decades growing and propagating plants — and just as long searching for a reliable answer to the question every plant owner asks - 'How often should I water this plant?'

She wanted something better than traditional moisture meters that were clunky and a bit of an eye sore in pot plants. When she found Sustee, with its slender, minimalist design that blends into any decor, she knew it was the solution she'd been looking for.

We're passionate about making plant care less stressful and more enjoyable, whether you're nurturing your first pothos or running a full-blown indoor jungle.

We're proud to bring this clever Japanese innovation to Australian plant lovers, working alongside garden centres, nurseries and plant shops who share our passion.

Happy plants. Happy people. That's what we're all about. 🌿
