🪨 LECHUZA-PON - Mineral substrate for houseplants, 12L bag

A fully mineral growing substrate from LECHUZA. According to the manufacturer, it consists of pumice, lava, and zeolite with a grain size of 2-5 mm, supplemented with slow-release fertilizer. The structure remains stable - the substrate does not compact or clump like soil.

It is used for full planting of houseplants or as a drainage layer, both in LECHUZA planters with irrigation systems and in regular pots. According to the manufacturer, it drains well while simultaneously storing water and nutrients, releasing them to the plant as needed.

🪨 Why LECHUZA-PON?

🧱
Mineral and stable

Pumice, lava, and zeolite maintain an airy structure over time, without compacting.

🧪
Pre-fertilized

According to the manufacturer, slow-release fertilizer nourishes the plant for approx. 6 months. No need to add extra fertilizer immediately.

💧
Drains and stores

Prevents standing water in the container, while storing water and nutrients and releasing them as needed.

🪴
For every pot

Suitable for LECHUZA planters with irrigation systems as well as standard pots and planters.

🦟
Fewer fungus gnats

According to the manufacturer, the mineral base does not provide a breeding ground for fungi and fungus gnats. The substrate is also peat-free.

🏠 Why and where to use it?

Important: This is a general substrate for houseplants - not a bonsai substrate that replaces checking the specific needs of each species.

🌿 Edible plants

⚠️ Avoid: Adding fertilizer during the first few months (the substrate is already fertilized), and filling the water reservoir of a LECHUZA planter in the first few weeks after planting.

🪴 How to use

🪴
Remove the plant

Remove the plant gently and shake off loose soil.
According to LECHUZA, there is no need to remove all the soil from the roots.

🟫
Bottom layer

In a LECHUZA planter: Place the irrigation layer that comes with the planter, and on top of it, a thin layer of PON - just enough so that the plant sits at the right height.

🤲
Fill

Place the plant and fill around it with the substrate up to the top.

💧
Initial watering

For the first 12 weeks, water from above, directly onto the substrate, only as much as the plant absorbs.
In a LECHUZA planter, keep the reservoir nearly empty during this period, then switch to watering through the filling shaft.

👆
Check moisture

The substrate retains water well, so water less frequently.
Check with a finger or moisture meter, or in LECHUZA planters, use the water level indicator.

🧪
Resume fertilizing

After about six months, the effect of the fertilizer in the substrate weakens - fertilize again according to the fertilizer instructions.

📝 Important to know

📋 What's in the bag

Per LECHUZA: Pumice, lava, zeolite, and slow-release fertilizer, 2-5 mm grain size. The substrate is peat-free.

🔄 Transition from soil

A plant transitioning from soil to mineral substrate needs an adaptation period. Keep it in a stable location and monitor watering for the first few weeks.

🌳 Not a dedicated bonsai substrate

This is a general substrate for houseplants. For bonsai and special plants, check what the specific species needs first.

♻️ Reuse

According to the manufacturer, the substrate is suitable for reuse because it does not decompose like organic substrate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I use it in a regular pot?

Yes. According to LECHUZA, all PON substrates are also suitable for regular pots and window boxes, not just for planters with a sub-irrigation system. It is important that there is drainage.

❓ Do I need to wash all the soil off the roots?

No. According to LECHUZA planting instructions, there is no need to remove all the soil - remove the plant, gently shake off the loose parts, and plant.

❓ How often should I water?

Less often than with regular soil, because the substrate retains water well. There is no set schedule: check with your finger or a moisture meter, and for LECHUZA planters, follow the water level indicator.

❓ When should I fertilize?

The substrate is pre-fertilized for about 6 months. After that, feed with liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer, according to its instructions.

❓ Can I mix it with soil?

According to the manufacturer, yes, but for mixing with potting soil, it recommends the non-fertilized substrates in the series (BASICPON and MONOPON), which aerate the mixture and improve drainage.

❓ Is this substrate for bonsai?

This is a general substrate for houseplants. For bonsai, first check the requirements of the specific species - not every tree is suitable for the same substrate.

❓ Can I grow herbs in it?

According to LECHUZA, the substrate is also suitable for edible plants. Ensure proper light and water according to the plant's needs.

🪨 In short - who is this suitable for?

LECHUZA-PON is suitable for anyone who wants a stable mineral substrate that does not compress for houseplants - in LECHUZA planters or regular pots - with initial fertilizer for about 6 months.

💡 Tip: During the first few months, water from above in an amount the plant can absorb. In LECHUZA planters, switch to watering via the reservoir only after about 12 weeks.
