LECHUZA PON Peat-Free Houseplant Potting Mix for Indoor Plants, Cacti and Succulents Soil Potting Compost 18L

Product Information

The main difference is that Lechza Pon is a mix of different ingredients such as Lava stone, zeolite, and pumice as well as fertilizer whereas perlite has one source only.

What about rooting cuttings?: When I use pon to root, I will water the pon with the shower method and keep it in a clear plastic container - this will keep it humid.Buy a bag of Lechuza Pon Substrate as you will need it further down the road. There is some Pon already included in the planters but it might not be sufficient or you might want more soon. The best thing is you can go on holiday (even in summer) for several weeks without having to hand over your plant collection to a newbie and having to worry every day. Pon for Plants has many advantages over general potting soil as it is more airy and less inhabitable for pests Pon Soil I will water the plant using the shower method in its existing media to start. Step 1: Clean the roots!

Take your Lechuza planter and put some Lechuza Pon in it. I start with a layer of 1-3 inches. This makes sure that the roots won’t be directly at water level The 25% method is when people use Pon for drainage only, usually in vessels without drainage holes like terrariums, adding a layer of Pon to the bottom quarter or so of the pot, and the rest on top being your usual potting mix. For some of the pots you can pour the water into an opening so the plants are only watered from the bottom up. Plant looks thirsty: If the plant looks thirsty, but not dying (e.g., yellowing leaves, dropping leaves, soft stem), I will add some water to the reservoir even before 1 week is over. The phenomenon seen here is known as false vivipary: let’s break that down! Vivipary is where seeds sprout while still attached to the fruit or seedhead they came from - you may remember seeing a picture of a strawberry covered in sprouting seeds for instance.LECHUZA-PON is the perfect alternative where conventional soil cannot or should not be used. The LECHUZA-PON advantages

Jane: Let's just start with the very basics, for me, more than anything else, as a complete ignoramus about this stuff! What's actually in Pon? What's it made of? Du vil måske opleve at din plante i starten smider et blad eller to, men der er ingen grund til panik. Giv blot din plante lidt tid (og kærlighed) til at vænne sig til pon. Gødning Daarnaast is het ook erg fijn dat ik minder vaak water hoef te geven. Ideaal als je bijvoorbeeld op vakantie gaat. Maar ook heb ik minder rouwvliegjes en een stuk minder last van wortelrot. Tot nu toe heeft iedere plant die ik op Pon heb gezet het erg goed gedaan. Ik denk dat ik ondertussen wel 100 planten heb verpot, tot nu toe is er nooit een plant dood gegaan na de transitie. Dus wees niet bang voor Pon, probeer het eens uit! Waar kan ik Pon kopen? Want to make a regular donation? Join the On The Ledge community on Patreon!

This can be sufficient to fill a planter but will heavily depend on the size of your plant and also the root system and the substrate that you add to the planter.I prefer using transparent plant pots because I can monitor the root growth. Today, I used a take-out soup container which fit perfectly in my planter. I always save these containers as they make great pots. I just add drainage with a soldering iron by adding holes in the bottom and sides of the container. Take-out soup container DIY pot Soldering Iron to make holes in the soup container. Step 3.5: Add plant and fill pot with pon LECHUZA-PON has a continuous capillarity up to the planter's surface. Even undergrowth and small rooted plants get the perfect amount of water this way. False vivipary is where plantlets grow where flowers should be on a flower stem: in effect some of the cells have get confused. Botanists don’t full understand why this happens, but it seems to occur more frequently in certain plants, such as Agaves, Gasteria, Aloe and some carnivorous plants such as the venus flytrap.

Lechuza Pon has the 'magic ratio' of 45% water and 55% air. I can almost hear my aroids and hoya breathing a sigh of relief at that, what with their love of chunky, free-draining substrate (and my fear of over-watering). And yes, aroids and hoya are the most popular Pon plants, but Pon is also popular for Bonsai cacti, succulents and more. Når du planter i pon, anbefaler vi at du bruger klare plastpotter. Både så du kan følge med i røddernes udvikling, og så du kan se hvor meget fugt, der er i potterne. Det er nemlig den nemmeste måde at følge med i om dine planter mangler vand. Mange bruger også selvvandende potter med indbygget vandreservoir, da pon er et fantastisk medie til planter i semihydrokultur. Det er især godt til planter, som eksempelvis Alocasia planter, der trives i et fugtigt miljø. Converting a plant to another media can be stressful so it is not the best idea to transfer a plant that is already suffering. I always thoroughly water the plant in it's current media BEFORE transferring it. Pon can be watered from the top once it dries out like soil, but it can also be used in semi-hydroponic growing. Many people who use Pon as a semi-hydrponic media prefer to use two types of pots. The first choice is either clear plastic pots with holes or clear slotted orchid pots with a reservoir. Alternatively, many people like to use the self-watering pots sold by Lechuza brand/similar dupes. What is DIY Lechuza-Pon? Why make your own DIY Lechuza-Pon?Do I have to root a cutting in pon or can I just transfer a plant from soil? Both can be done, depends on your comfort level. I have rooted cuttings and transferred full plants from moss and soil to pon. The most important thing to ensure a smooth conversion to pon is to once again, abide by Step 4: Do not water for 2 weeks after repotting! This means do not fill the reservoir with water, do not get the pon wet. This allows the roots to acclimate to the new media. LECHUZA-PON consists of high-quality, mineral stones that are free from contamination and pollutants. My first plants to transition were few Hoyas, few Philodendrons, Alocasia, and Anthurium.
