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

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.

The Lechuza PON Mineral Plant Substrate has been a fantastic addition to my indoor gardening setup! This 12-liter bag provides an ample amount of substrate, and the quality is impressive. Unlike regular soil, the PON mix is specifically designed to promote healthy root development by providing excellent aeration and drainage. It also retains the right amount of moisture, so I don’t have to water my plants as frequently—perfect for anyone with a busy schedule.The only drawback is the price, as it’s on the higher end compared to standard potting soils, but the benefits of reduced maintenance and healthier plants make it worth the investment. Highly recommend it for indoor plant lovers looking for a quality, low-maintenance potting solution!

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!

Best thing i could have boughten for my alocasia plants. They love this pon! Great stuff, definetly worth the price. Great nutrients for thr plants. Works great in the self watering pots. Will purchase again.

I got this to test out with some plants that weren't doing too well in soil. I had a silver dragon alocasia lose all its leaves in the winter (I live in Indiana). I switched it to pon and now it finally has THREE leaves! Woohoo! I also moved the plant to a cabinet, but it was starting to do better after switching to pon. I definitely like this stuff and will be using it more.

Great for plants!!! Wish it were cheaper and more available/more options. I use it alone and also add to soil and my plants love it!

Good product. Would buy again

Everything with this product has been good so far, I ordered two bags because I’ve seen a lot of people say this sells out fast and they love it for their plants. This is my first time using this soil and I’m about to repot 2 of my plants for it so I’m hoping it goes well. My main issue is that the first bag I ordered was completely fine, the second was not. It he pictures I added you can see that there’s a tea in the bag that let out a significant amount of soil. If this was cheaper and easier to get ahold of, it wouldn’t have been a problem honestly, but it does suck because the soil that got stuck in the box was literally falling out of it. I’m not sure if it happened at the warehouse or somewhere in between.. it was taped pretty well shut and there was no external damage to the box that it had come in so I’d hate to think that it was packaged that way, but it is possible. Just be careful when/if you do buy this, the bags themselves are VERY heavy, so be careful while lifting.
