## Overview

LECHUZA-PON is an 18-liter premium plant substrate made from high-quality mineral stones, designed for optimal air and water balance (45% water, 55% air). It features a fully-coated organic fertilizer that nourishes plants for up to 6 months, supports all plant types including delicate orchids and citrus, and maintains structural stability to prevent compaction and odors. Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, it ensures robust root growth and long-lasting plant health.

## Description

LECHUZA-PON is the perfect alternative in places where conventional soil cannot or should not be used. LECHUZA-PON Advantages: LECHUZA-PON is a perfect fit for all plants (even orchids and citrus plants). LECHUZA-PON consists of high-quality, mineral stones that are free from contamination and pollutants. LECHUZA-PON has an ideal air / water ratio for plants (45% water/55% air). Even after years, this structurally-stable plant substrate does not condense and keeps its air-permeable structure. LECHUZA-PON can be used for years without needing to be replaced! When producing LECHUZA-PON, multiple sievings minimize the amount of fine particles in the substrate. This prevents an increase of silt in the root area and sustains long-lasting capillary action. The included zeolite maintains the ideal pH balance in your LECHUZA planter to allow for healthy plant growth. Macro- and micronutrients remain permanently available. LECHUZA-PON has continuous capillary action, drawing water up into the planter. Even undergrowth and small rooted plants get the perfect amount of water this way. The LECHUZA plant substrate provides a balanced distribution of nutrients to the roots of your plant. Through this supply, the plant builds a consistent, compact root dispersion and can grow into a robust plant that will stay with you for a long time. LECHUZA-PON is like a buffer that absorbs excess fertilizer and gives it back to the plant when needed. This natural nutrient storage prevents the burning of the roots through overfertilizing. LECHUZA-PON has an adjusted bulk weight. Your plant is firmly supported within the planter, which is important for larger plants. LECHUZA-PON ensures that your LECHUZA planter remains stable and is also perfectly suited for use outdoors. The substrate is a natural odor absorber for things like dead roots. PON is free-flowing and can be used with a shovel to fill planters in place of dirt. When planting with LECHUZA-PON, you don't need to completely free the root ball from the soil. LECHUZA-PON Components: Zeolite German washed pumice German, light Lava (permanently supplies your plant with iron) Fully-coated, premium-quality fertilizer. The coating is purely organize and breaks down without leaving any residue. The fertilizer supplies your plant with nutrients for up to 6 months. Fit for all plants, including foliage, flowering plants like orchids, citrus plants, herbs, tomatoes, fruit trees, cacti, and more.

Review: Great for self watering planters - Bought this as a base layer for self watering planters, and it works great! I layer about a quarter inch of pon at the bottom of the planter and covered with potting soil to help transfer the water up from the reservoir into the soil, and I've had absolutely no problems with it in any of my planters so far. I haven't tried transferring to 100% pon though, I just use it as an intermediary between planter and soil.
Review: Great alternative to soil and Leca - I love Lechuza Pon. About 95% of my 75+ plants are in pon. There is a learning curve and it tends to be out of stock a lot. I am also not happy the larger size bag seems to be discontinued. Despite both of these the product is great and I am more than happy with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this product contact gnat's similar to regular potting soil?**
A: The purely mineral-based plant substrate blocks fungi that can attack the roots. Therefore, PON is suited for people who suffer from allergies. It can also prevent bugs such as gnats, since they typically only nest in soil.

**Q: Why is the brand listed as "snow keychain"?**
A: We are working to have this corrected.  This is a Lechuza product made in Germany.

**Q: what is the fertilizer's NPK that is used in Pon?**
A: LECHUZA-PON contains 3g slow- release fertilizer 15-9-9+3. NPK fertilizer, coated, contains magnesium and trace nutrients effective for 6-12 months.

**Q: If I ordered before the item went out of stock, will I still get the order? It is currently not shipped out**
A: Amazon shows it it stock often but the actual deliver date will show a few weeks out. I would look at your orders and see when it is actually expected.

Lots of my houseplants have switched to this and they are doing great. What's nice is if you lose a plant you can simple wash and reuse.
