Yes! This is the bit I mentioned earlier about the fertiliser in Lechuza-Pon. Some Lechuza substitutes don't include fertiliser (which isn't a bad thing), but because Lechuza-Pon does include a short-term, slow-release fertiliser, although you do not have to fertilise right away, you DO still need to fertilise long-term. Let's return to our chat about Lechuza Pon and I wanted to find out whether you have to buy the pots from Lechuza, or whether you can just buy the Pon and use your own pots. Jane: Let's just start with the very basics, for me, more than anything else, as a complete ignoramus about this stuff! What's actually in Pon? What's it made of? Har din plante brug for støtte, skal du sikre dig at du kun bruger plantestøtter, som er lavet i et uorganisk materiale som fx plastic eller metal, da de ellers vil mugne.

Transitioning to Pon

After potting up, top-water thoroughly until the Pon is evenly wet and water really pours out the drainage holes. The same as soil or potting mix, you'll normally see the 'fines' wash out in the first water (cloudy brownish white particles), but nothing like the excessive fines you'd expect from Leca. Lechuza Delta is great for crawlers such as Philodendron Mamei, Philodendron Gloriosum as these planters are wide and slim.

Ik gebruik Lechuza Pon nu meer dan een jaar en ben er heel tevreden over. Het werkt prettig, het staat mooi, ik hoef minder vaak water te geven, geen rouwvliegjes meer en mijn planten doen het er fantastisch in. De planten waarvan ik weet dat ze kwetsbare wortels hebben maak ik minder goed schoon zodat ik ze niet beschadig en de toegevoegde voeding geen probleem vormt. Bij het stekken lijkt tot nu toe alleen de Hoya deykeae moeite te hebben met de toegevoegde voeding. Of deze theorie ook echt op wetenschappelijke feiten berust weet ik overigens niet. Ik ben geen bioloog. Het is een aanname die ik doe gebaseerd op mijn ervaringen. Het zou zomaar kunnen dat de Hoya deykeae om andere redenen dan de toegevoegde voeding minder go

Jakie rośliny można trzymać w Lechuzie?

The Ledge End tier gives you access to two extra episodes a month, known as An Extra Leaf, as well as ad-free versions of the main podcast on weeks where there’s a paid advertising spot, and access to occasional patron-only Zoom sessions. Watering is a breeze. You fill up the water reservoir and your plants are sufficiently watered for weeks (2-3 weeks) While you have been handling the pon, you've probably noticed it's quite dusty. This step is optional as Lechuza doesn't recommend cleaning before potting. You can dry sift the pon with a fine sieve. The slow release fertiliser in Lechuza Pon should last for six months: after that you can add liquid fertiliser of your choice, or you can top up with Lechuza’s own slow release fertilisers.

Leca has zero nutrients. Depending on the brand, Pon often comes with nutrients included (although typically only for the short-term). Both products are best used with a fertiliser made for hydroponics ( GT and Dyna-Gro are the two popular hydro ferts in NZ for indoor plants). Want to make a regular donation?

Pot zonder reservoir: niet zulke dorstige planten of vind je het werken met een reservoir toch spannend? Geef je plant dan water zoals je normaal ook met potgrond doet. Is de Pon lichtgrijs van kleur en droog? Dan kan je de Pon vanaf boven water geven met een gieter.

Wady Lechuzy PON

The zeolites included in most Pon mixes (including Lechuza Pon), helps maintain a healthy, slightly acidic pH without the need for adjustment, compared to Leca where manual pH adjustment is often needed.
