Super fast dispatch, plants always arrive happy and healthy. These Alocasias are by far the best around, highly variegated and a great size for the price.

How to use
Simply place the plant with LECHUZA-PON in the self watering plant pot liner or directly in the planter.

Our self watering plant pots and LECHUZA planters consist of an external and an internal pot. Pots are different in height and due to this difference, a space is formed inside – a container for water.

There are drainage holes in the inner pot through which the water flows into the substrate. LECHUZA-PON draws moisture from a water tank.

A wet zone forms. For the first three weeks, the plant leaves its roots in the wet zone and begins to take the optimal amount of water and fertilisers for itself.

About this product

LECHUZA PON POTTING MIX

Lechuza Pon Potting Mix

  • Stores water and nutrients and releases them to the plants as needed
  • Ideally suited for all types of plants
  • Permanently structurally stable with optimum aeration
  • Good drainage capability, prevents waterlogging
  • Stable pH level for long periods
  • Inhibits mould growth

  • Suitable for repotting plants in the autumn and winter period

LECHUZA PON is the substrate at the heart of the LECHUZA watering system. Instead of regular potting soil, it is a completely mineral-based mix that drains freely, which greatly reduces the risk of root rot.

What's good about it is that it holds onto water and nutrients when your plants need them, then releases everything gradually. No more guessing games about whether you're overwatering or starving your plants. Plus, it comes pre-loaded with slow-release fertiliser that'll keep your plants happy for about 6-8 months before you need to think about fertilising your pon again.

The mix is made from zeolite, pumice, and lava - sounds fancy, but what it really means is that this stuff won't get all compacted like regular soil does. And since there's no organic matter in there, you won't have to deal with fungus gnats or other annoying pests. If you've got allergies, this is definitely your friend.

Oh, and it's peat-free, so you're not contributing to environmental destruction while keeping your plants alive - always a plus!

After about six months, just grab add more fertiliser to keep things going strong. The whole system works for edible plants too, so you can use it for your herbs and veggies without worry.
