Re earlier comments: I am not surprised that retailers' staff do not know how to help consumers as just look at some of the staff that are hired in customer services these days. I am surprised there is no info whatsoever on using this substrate without "their own" brand of watering system or any other watering system which I think is just a marketing ploy, of which I spent many, many hours of trawling the internet to find this measly information out!! The only other bit of information regarding the substrate out there is that it can be mixed with compost like pumice which is why I decided to try it on its own and I'm glad I did. My Sansevierias absolutely love it although some of the softer leaved Echeverias take a little longer to adjust but once settled are very happy. You can find a watering schedule that works or, in my case, water when the leaves are starting to dry up or wrinkle. I do not use the watering systems as I only have succulents but I fill a normal pot with the pon give it a good watering and leave. The fertilizer supplies your plant with nutrients for up to 6 months.I have been using pon for a couple of months now and there is definitely an improvement in all my plants.The coating is purely organic and degrades residue-free.Fully coated premium quality fertilizer.

#LECHUZA PON SUBSTRATE FREE#
When planting in LECHUZA-PON you don't have to free the root ball completely from soil. PON is free-flowing and can be used on its own without any soil to fill the planters. It is not a good home for pests such as the dark-winged fungus gnats, as they only nest in soil. PON is therefore suited for people that may have allergies. The purely mineral plant substrate prevents fungus that attack the roots.

The substrate is a natural odour absorber, for eg. LECHUZA-PON takes care that your LECHUZA planter stays stable and is suited perfectly for outdoor use. Your plant is supported firmly in the planter, which is important for bigger plants. The natural nutrient storage prevents the burning of the roots through overfertilizing. LECHUZA-PON acts like a buffer, that absorbs excessive fertilizer and gives it back to the plant when needed. Through the ideal supply the plant builds a consistent, compact root dispersion and becomes a robust plant, that will stay with you for a long time. The LECHUZA plant substrate takes care of a balanced nutrient distribution in the root area of your planter. Even undergrowth and small rooted plants get the perfect amount of water this way. LECHUZA-PON has a continuous capillarity up to the planter's surface. Macro and micronutrients remain permanently. The substance zeolite stabilizes the ideal PH balance for a healthy plant growth in your LECHUZA planter. This prevents a silting up in the root area and sustains a long-lasting capillarity. The multiple filtering in production reduces the fine particles in the substrate to a minimum.

LECHUZA-PON can be used for years, without having to be replaced! Even after some time, the structurally stable plant substrate does not condense and it keeps its air permeable structure. The vulnerability to diseases is reduced. LECHUZA-PON has the optimal air/water ratio for plants of 45% water / 55% air. LECHUZA-PON consists of high quality, mineral stones, that are free from contamination and pollutants. LECHUZA-PON is 100% suitable for all plants (even orchids and citrus plants). LECHUZA-PON is the perfect alternative where conventional soil cannot or should not be used.
