LECHUZA-PON mineral plant substrate is the heart of the original LECHUZA self watering system. It provides plants with optimal root aeration and stores water and nutrients, releasing them to plants individually as needed. Waterlogging doesn’t stand a chance thanks to the excellent drainage capability of the mineral substrate.
LECHUZA-PON is made from high-quality zeolite, washed pumice and lava and remains volume-stable thanks to its special composition. This is because, compared with soil, PON can neither be compressed nor form clumps. The substrate is based on a purely mineral formula, so it is not vulnerable to fungus or pests. This makes it ideally suited for people with allergies.
LECHUZA-PON is enriched with LECHUZA PERFECT LEAFslow-release fertilizer, which reliably supplies houseplants with all of the nutrients they need for 6 to 8 months.

The extra coarse, purely mineral plant substrate LECHUZA-PON XXL is perfect for big planters and gives larger potted plants the stability they need. The high volume stability means that the substrate does not compress and retains its air-permeable structure. The mineral substrate comprises pumice, lava and zeolite, which function as water and nutrient reservoirs supplying the plant as needed. Waterlogging is avoided and root rot is prevented thanks to the structurally stable composition.

For nutrient supply, the substrate is also pre-fertilized for 6–8 months. The plant substrate is recommended for all permanently potted large planters, indoors and outdoors. LECHUZA-PON XXL can also be used as an attractive decorative layer thanks to its coarse structure.

The organic mineral potting substrate is suitable for all citrus plants. It has excellent drainage properties and ensures optimum root aeration, avoiding waterlogging. In the interests of protecting our natural environment, the substrate is peat-free. CITRUSPON is particularly volume-stable and gives plants stability and robustness. It also does not get compressed.

The special substrate is pre-fertilized with special LECHUZA citrus fertilizer for 6 to 8 months and enriched with red lava for added heat retention. This gives CITRUSPON its Mediterranean look to complement the plants. Lemons, oranges and other Mediterranean plants are ideally cared for, resulting in green foliage and juicy fruits.

The purely mineral organic plant substrate PALMPON optimally controls the water supply for palms and other tropical plants,and supports root aeration. It is suitable for all palms and Mediterranean plants. The plant substrate is enriched with black lava, which helps with heat retention and looks particularly striking. This special composition increases air circulation in the substrate and prevents waterlogging. This also results in stable and robust plants.

PALMPON is also enriched with extra potassium and iron to stimulate growth. PALMPON is pre-fertilized for 6 to 8 months with the special LECHUZA palm fertilizer, so that the plants are optimally supplied with all the necessary nutrients - for vital plants and intensely green leaves.

Making the prickly housemates feel completely at home! Cacti and succulents come from dry regions and need a plant substrate with increased drainage properties. CACTUSPON is a purely mineral substrate with special drainage properties that ensure optimum root aeration. The particularly fine-grained structure prevents waterlogging and root rot. Enriched with pumice,lava and zeolite, the special substrate ensures optimal development of cacti and succulents. Due to its mineral composition, it is not vulnerable to pests and also prevents mold growth. CACTUSPON is particularly volume-stable and provides stability in the planter. It is peat-free, not pre-fertilized, low in nutrients and suitable for all types of cacti and succulents as a result.

The purely mineral substrate MONOPON is 100% natural pumice and ensures optimum root aeration and sufficient air circulation in the planter when used as a drainage layer in conventional planters without a LECHUZA self watering system. As an environmentally friendly alternative to expanded clay, MONOPON forms the first layer in the planter, protecting against waterlogging and root rot. The natural pumice stores moisture, releasing it back to the roots as needed. MONOPON can be used for complete planting in place of conventional potting soil. As well as being used as a drainage layer, MONOPON can also be added to potting soil to loosen it and for aeration. The substrate is not pre-fertilized, so that nutrients can be supplied as needed making it universally suitable for all plants.

UNIPON helps to grow colorful flowers and beautiful shrubs. The universal soil is a versatile soil for balcony plants, herbs and other outdoor plants. Its loose and light texture means the roots are optimally aerated, which is what makes the universal soil suitable for year-round use outdoors. Enriched with a combination of mineral and organic components, UNIPON is a soil improver, helping to ensure that plants are strong and healthy. This effect is reinforced by the pre-fertilized composition, supplying the plants with sufficient nutrients for around 3 months. The mineral component also means that UNIPON can be used to improve potting soil. In the interests of protecting our natural environment, the universal soil is peat-free.
