Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey

As an avid houseplant enthusiast, particularly for philodendrons, I have experimented with various growing mediums to ensure optimal growth and health for my plants. After trying out Lechuza Pon, I must say I've been thoroughly impressed and believe it to be one of the best options available for philodendrons. Perfect Drainage and Aeration: Lechuza Pon offers exceptional drainage, which is crucial for philodendrons as it prevents root rot, a common issue with these plants. The medium is porous enough to maintain the right balance of air and moisture around the roots, promoting healthy growth. Nutrient Retention: This substrate does an excellent job of holding onto nutrients without becoming waterlogged. This feature is particularly beneficial for philodendrons, as it ensures they receive the necessary nourishment over time. I've noticed a remarkable improvement in the vibrancy and health of my philodendron leaves. Ease of Use: Lechuza Pon is incredibly easy to use. It's ready right out of the bag, and there's no need for additional amendments. This convenience is a big plus, especially for busy plant owners or beginners who might be intimidated by more complex soil preparations. Long-Lasting: Another great advantage is its longevity. Unlike regular potting soil, Lechuza Pon doesn't break down as quickly, meaning it can be used for a longer period before needing replacement. This not only makes it more cost-effective but also less disruptive to the plants, as repotting can be minimized. Overall Impression: My philodendrons have thrived since switching to Lechuza Pon. They are healthier, and their growth has been steady and robust. For anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use growing medium for their philodendrons, I highly recommend Lechuza Pon. It’s a game-changer in plant care. If they are happy, so am I!

Oh my gosh I love this stuff so much the color is so beautiful in my planter pots the size of the bag is really a good size it allowed me to repot about 70 of my plants all in various sizes from 4 in to 8 in pots. Functionality is amazing all my plants are thriving. It provides awesome drainage this is something I had to learn on my own as a new user of pon, but this is the semi Hydro medium meaning you have to leave water in it at least halfway. Other than that little learning curve it's very easy to use and you get a good amount for your money. But don't buy it when it's $100 or more wait till it gets back in stock and you can get it for $29 and free shipping like I did. I'm glad I bought four bags when I I first ordered because I did not know how big the bags were. I got another bag of 7 lb and it was literally a 1 gallon Ziploc bag. So I bought four just to make sure. It's got slow release fertilizer in it already and you don't have to rinse it before using it's already ready.

This is my favorite medium to use with my plants. Especially if I’m propagating or if a plant isn’t doing well. I’ve reused mine a couple times by cleansing it. Drainage is great and it’s easy to reuse. Best brand of pon I’ve used.

I purchased the PON to see if I liked it for some of my plants and to use it for propagation. I'm happy with the overall size of the particles and that it doesn't have a smell. The plants I propagated in them grew nice healthy root systems. The PON can be sterilized and used again after moving the propagated plants to their new pots. The downsides would be the cost and that it has to be rinsed well to remove the powder that is surrounding the minerals. If you don't, the sludge will coat the drip trays and has to be washed with water as it sticks quite well. Despite the downsides I would definitely purchase again.

Please note: Always do your research for your plants needs before hand. I decided to repot my Monsteras in pon after getting to frustrated with soil and the amount of fungus knats I was getting. I did my research and went for it and my monsteras have never been happier! I've even attached a moss pole to one of my pon pots and the root growth over the last month has been gorgeous! I definitely recommend it if your unsure a out leca or your done with soil. I have about 10 plants currently in pon, 5- 6in self watering pots and 5 in smaller 4?in self watering pots and the amount in the bag was enough for that so if your worried about it not being enough it will be! and you can always mix it with other things (like leca or other substrate). Love this product, a plant saver. 💕

It’s good product. Thank you!

Chronic under-waterer here and had to restart all 50+ Hoyas from coco chips because of dry rot.. I acquired some inexpensive self watering pots and committed to trying Lechuza pon as substrate for the first time.. I chopped off all dead roots from every Hoya and ‘propagated’ every one of them in this pon. 99% successful after 3-4 weeks! Only one stem from one plant didn’t root (I didn’t expect that kind of success)! Healthy roots are poking out from the bottom of the net pots! This is a no exaggeration honest review and I figured if anyone else has struggled with watering Hoyas and maybe considered pon, then maybe this review will help you decide on whether to try Lechuza. It’s been said that this product is fairly pricey, however, leca is often more exspensive by weight than Lechuza. So happy I FINALLY switched to pon!

I use PON for my tropical cuttings and I love this stuff... SWEAR by it! AS long as it's Lechuza, it's fantastic growing medium. It keeps fungus gnats away, too. No more soil in this house and I have over 150 plants and/or cuttings :) There are no weird smells either. I do rinse it OUTSIDE (don't be dumb and clog your pipes with sediment!) using a metal strainer. I just scoop about 3-4 cups at once and hose it until the water runs mostly clear. This also keeps your plant roots and reservoirs from getting all mucky.

Helt fantastiskt att få levereras till dörr. Pon är perfekt för mi a självvattnande krukor. Synd att den inte gick att köpa fler gånger.

J'aime bcp. Le produit, mais je n'aime pas l'ouverture sur le devant du sac à la place du dessus, c'est très difficile à fermer, pas physiquement mais vu que le sac n'est pas égal la fermeture ne prend pas partout et il faut le refaire plusieurs fois pour quil’soit bien fermé égal.

Produit magique pour mes plantes c' est mon 8 ème achats sous plusieurs litres .Et j'ai un 100 pour 100 de reprises de mes plantes Monsteta..Pothos..

Ich habe dieses Pflanzensubstrat vor einiger Zeit gekauft und bin wirklich sehr begeistert – man merkt den Unterschied zu anderen Produkten sofort! Schon beim Öffnen der Verpackung fällt auf, dass das Substrat eine tolle Qualität hat. Es riecht angenehm natürlich und hat eine lockere, gleichmäßige Struktur, die sofort einen guten Eindruck macht. Das Einpflanzen hat wunderbar funktioniert – das Substrat lässt sich leicht verarbeiten und füllt Töpfe und Beete gleichmäßig aus, ohne zu klumpen oder zu verkleben. Wasser wird hervorragend aufgenommen und gleichmäßig gespeichert, ohne dass die Wurzeln der Pflanzen dabei leiden. Staunässe ist kein Thema, was mir besonders wichtig war, da viele meiner Pflanzen sehr empfindlich sind. Was mich wirklich überzeugt hat, ist das sichtbare Ergebnis. Meine Pflanzen haben sich seit der Umstellung auf dieses Substrat deutlich besser entwickelt – sie wirken gesünder, kräftiger und wachsen spürbar schneller. Neue Triebe und Blätter zeigen sich regelmäßig, was ein klares Zeichen dafür ist, dass die Pflanzen sich rundum wohlfühlen und optimal versorgt werden. Die Verpackung ist zudem praktisch und lässt sich gut verschließen, sodass das Substrat frisch und verwendungsbereit bleibt. Für den Preis bekommt man hier wirklich ein hervorragendes Produkt, das sowohl für Anfänger als auch für erfahrene Hobbygärtner bestens geeignet ist. Ich kann dieses Pflanzensubstrat uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und werde es definitiv wieder kaufen. Wer seinen Pflanzen etwas Gutes tun möchte, ist hier absolut richtig – volle Punktzahl, ganz klar!

As usual great product
