What's the obsession over Lechuza Pon about? 

 

Ready? Set? Get your grow on the semi-hydro-PON-ic way with Lechuza Pon. This is not repackaged, not a copy, it is the genuine, original Lechuza Pon you've heard YouTubers and planty Instagrammers rave about. sourced from Germany, in the original bag as shown.


This soil-less substrate is a favourite with famous Plant-Tubers the world over, with the best known being Kaylee Ellen (from The Rare Plant Shop UK fame), and many others with larger collections.


However that doesn't mean Pon is out of reach for those us with more modest indoor plant jungles. The Spruce calls Pon "...the home jungle secret plant influencers don't want you to know about" because Pon is so often sold out. I will try and maintain a steady supply for you, however there may be times you need to go on the waiting list (if you see the Add to Cart button above it means I'm in stock right now).


I started my Pon journey due to a mix of curiosity about what the planty YouTubers and Instagrammers were on about, combined with a stubborn Hoya cutting who refused to root, even with my normal 'secret weapon' combo of fern fibre and GT CCS rooting formula. Spoiler alert: Pon did the trick.


Turns out I'm not alone in the Hoya + Pon trick. Eula from @botanyplantslately says:


“My Hoya Wayetii was in Leca. It had been dormant for quite some time. So I decided to switch the substrate to pon, and the difference of the leaf growth after a few weeks was amazing!  My Hoya Rigida was rooting in perlitre and I transferred it to pon and shot out two new leaves after 3 weeks. I have also tried rooting some Hoya nummularioides in different mediums such as water, Leca, perlite and pon. The cutting in pon rooted quicker than the others.”


What is Pon?


Pon gets its name from 'Semi Hydro-PON-ics'. It's a popular 'remedy' for fungus gnats, just like Leca, but tends to be more user friendly than Leca for growing and propagating, and is used both added to potting mix, as well as by itself. Pon is a soil-alternative. Lechuza Pon is the 'gold standard' and their ingredients for Pon are pumice, zeolites, lava rock and a little short-term slow-release fertiliser boost.

What are the benefits to plants? 


Lechuza Pon has the 'magic ratio' of 45% water and 55% air. Wait. Did you hear that? That was the sound of your aroids and hoyas breathing a sigh of relief. It's almost impossible to overwater in Pon, meaning the risk of root rot is hugely reduced.  Pon is also loved for pretty much eliminating some pests, like Fungus Gnats, and both reducing the risk of and making treatment of other pests both faster and easier.

 

What plants do well in Pon?


Plants that thrive in an airy, free-draining mix, do best with a dry spell between watering, prefer lightly moist conditions, or are prone to root rot if over-watered. Hoyas and Aroids like Philodendrons, Monstera, Pothos, Epipremnum and more all make the list. 


What's in Pon?


Different brands have slightly different combos, but the Pon I sell is a combo of pumice, zeolites, lava rock and a little short-term slow-release fertiliser for that perfect 45% water 55% air balance. You've probably heard of 3 of those before (pumice, lava rock or better known as scoria to us kiwis, and slow-release fertiliser), but what are zeolites?


Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals. These clever little crystal-like stones trap harmful heavy metals and pollutants like lead and nickel. They have high water storage, soaking up excess water to keep the mix airy, releasing water when the roots need it. Zeolites also have a natural fungal inhibiting effect and help balance the pH.


Do you still need to fertilise with Pon?

Yes, just not at first. Lechuza Pon only includes a short-term, slow-release fertiliser. It lasts an average of 6 months, so no, you do not need to fertilise right away after transferring a plant in to Pon, but will need to return to your usual fertiliser routine after a couple of seasons.

I've put together a detailed 'how to' guide to Pon for first-timers, which takes you through...

  • the 4 ways you can use Pon
  • how to transfer or repot a plant from soil or potting mix in to Pon
  • how to water when using Pon
  • when to fertilise and what fertiliser to use
  • how to prep Pon before use (hint: no prep required)

  • using Pon with standard nursery pots vs wick watering and self-watering pots


Plus all the pros (and cons), how it compares to Leca, tips, tricks and more. Find out all about Pon in The Ultimate Guide to Growing Indoor Plants in Pon. Plus I'll email you a copy of that guide after you order as well :)

The most engaging interactive toy for my Border Collie
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
My Border Collie is not a big ball player. He prefers tug type games and actually gives me a look like, “Are you stupid? I’m not going to keep bringing that to you if all you’re going to do is throw it away again!” after about the third time I throw a ball for him to fetch. However, I can only play tug so often and I need him to be entertained and engaged as much as possible. I got him a smaller, non-padded ball like this hoping he would like the interactive aspect of it. He did- he actually loved it! But it was loud, hard on his teeth, would come apart periodically, and he kept hitting the off button when playing with it. It drove me crazy. This one is so much better overall! The soft outer shell is not only easier on his teeth, but it is super resilient to biting and chewing. He actually likes to carry this thing around in his mouth while it’s bouncing and vibrating. The three modes give great flexibility for different kinds of play. His favorite is the most active mode: the ball reacts to touch and practically bounces itself across the floor when he touches it with his paw or mouth. I will point out that in one of the modes, I thought the battery wasn’t charged or there was a motor issue because it’s very subdued movement; however, it’s just set up as a low-key option. Be sure to check out each mode to see which works best for your dog at different times. I can’t say enough about this ball- I have been so pleasantly surprised by how much he loves it. The rechargeable feature is super convenient, it’s big enough to not get stuck under the couch, and it automatically shuts off based on whichever mode it’s set on. As the owner of a busy, super-smart dog who needs to be engaged in mental and physical activity, I think this all is worth every penny. In fact, I’m buying one for a friend who has a Border Collie pup with lots of energy to burn! I highly recommend this toy- it’s the most engaging toy I’ve found that Finn will play with on his own.

Not as Smart or Interactive as You Think it Will Be
Color: Blue
This is an honest review from a schnauzer owner who has has wanted this cheerble ball for their dog for more than one year. I finally bougI finally bought this toy and both me and my dog are disappointed. The settings are...i would say dog friendly as I'd assumed a dog ball would be. What I mean by that is, for example: the calm play setting is muuch too calm. Super light puffs of energy, like a battery is dying. And the playful setting is scary, alarmingly so. The intervals in between are too long. The ball does not bounce. So they just have settings all wrong. The size is good for a large dog only. Do not buy if you have a small to medium dog. I even think the material is okay. I've only had it for a few days so I can't even speak to how the material holds up. Really hoping to love this ball for my dog. It was not the distraction I was hoping it would be so I could work from home while my dog had fun. I'm hoping this can help someone else who's been pining over it. Essentially, it's a $35-$50 well made weighted ball that moves occasionally.

Great fun for our dogs!
Style: Original
My dogs can’t get enough of this very noisy ball. We have one outside and one in their playroom. It is very noisy. It is very hard. So, I’d say a room with fine furniture is not the place for it. Ours bang it around pretty good. Our boxer did split one, biting it. But, she’s a serious chewer! Our other dog carries it around sometimes but hasn’t been able to damage it yet. So, I’d say for most chewers it’s going to last a long time. It’s a great toy but in most households I’d say basement or outside. Again, it’s hard and did ding a few baseboards.

Superb!
Style: Original
My dog absolutely loves this ball. It's too big for him to fit all the way in his mouth, so it's held up pretty well and still makes the sounds.
