How to use Lechuza Pon? | Watering | Transition | Types of Plants | Plant Tour | Pros & Cons

I wanted to create a video on my experience with Lechuza Pon since a looooooong time ago. However, there are so many content I'd like to share. Hence, it pushes me back to finalise all of the information I know and consolidate them in 1 video.
In this video, I have shared with you everything I know about Lechuza Pon. In the past 9 months, I have converted 99% of my houseplants to Lechuza Pon and I only have good things to say about it. As an user of Lechuza Pon, me myself has researched on lots of practical information on how to use Pon. Some of the questions weren't able to be found on KZread and Google. Hence, I have included all of them in this video. In order to let you understand WHAT you should do with Lechuza Pon, I tried to explain each element WHY I use it certain way. Hence, hopefully your questions can be deduced by yourself (provided that all of our environment and conditions are different).

    I didn’t know about the watering either. About 3 weeks ago I transferred about 3 plants and only watered from the top for the first time. They seem to be ok but I will now start watering from the top till the roots reach the water. Fantastic information throughout entire video. I’ll be stalking her utube channel. lol

    Btw, that’s a good point about Pon as a soil substitute vs. for semi-hydro (with a reservoir); so many people you’ll see, online, will ask “how do you grow succulents in semi-hydro?” …and I’m not including Hoyas in that, as they’re more of a tropical ‘succulent’ plant, some less than others, but none are quite close enough to surviving with benign neglect, in my experience. They need water and adequate conditions. I have learned that there is one thing with succulents in semi-hydro… …you CANNOT have a reservoir for succulents! And definitely no reservoir for a cactus!! I know some people claim to have success with it, but I’d imagine it only works with certain species, preferably under STRONG lights (or outdoors). More water means more sunlight will be needed, just as a plant baking in full sun will need irrigating more often. To successfully grow succulents in semi-hydro, you have to re-think whatever you currently know about semi-hydro, LECA, etc. This is where Pon comes in for me. It is more beneficial than LECA for succulent plants. The irony is that succulents and cacti will form roots at any chance they can, even if a cutting is laying out on a table! Most people who have them know this. If you lay a cactus cutting on the ground, it will immediately start feeling the ground and eventually, you won’t be able to lift it as it’s rooted. They’re some of the easiest plants to get to root. They’ll even root in plain LECA, but over time, it’s not substantial enough. And a reservoir would be certain death to the plant eventually, as they can’t have constant, steady wet feet. Pon is the perfect option for succulents as you can ‘adjust’ or tweak the typical semi-hydro method for them, such as give certain species more water than others. But having a water and nutrient reservoir isn’t as needed (if at all) with Pon because it’s a smaller particle, but still properly ventilated. It’s negligibly less aerated than LECA-though not in a bad way! Pon is still significantly more aerated compared to soil! Aeration (or a lack thereof) is a killer of succulents, and many non-succulent plants, as well. Water won’t evaporate fast enough before the plant absorbs it, in soil, and that’s simply not an issue in Pon! Anyway, just had that realization! Thanks again!

I have a handful of plant in pon already and probably have watched half of the KZread content about PON but your video is easily top 3 must see. Clear explanation and experiences! I watched it on 1.5x because I have adhd and you talk a little too slow for me, but I think that way everyone can enjoy your videos at their own paces! I subscribed for more 👍🏻

    @@xjimmyleungx You can use fertilizer that is used for semi-hydroponic/ hydroponic. Essentially, you want a fertilizer that can be used in a water reservoir condition. Since Pon is inorganic and I always reuse my Pon from boiling it, my Pon does not have fertilizer element. Hence, I fertilize my plants through the WHOLE year. So far I haven't spotted any fertilizer damages and most of my plants continue to grow during Autumn and Winter 🌿 I switched all of my larger pots to Lechuza planters since that is the best option I have experienced. I use the ones that has a separate inner container within the outer pot. Water roots grow so much faster in these pots than similar DIY set up. The design is very elegant and I LOVE the glossy white finishing😊 For most of my hoyas, I DIY the similar set up, since the plant size is much smaller (6-8cm pots + clear beer cups as reservoir).

    The reason you have to remove all soil is not because the roots dont get water. Its because lechuza is airy and even if its evenly wet the roots get oxygen. Soil is too dense and if its wet all the time roots just rot in it. So in short if you keep your lechuza wet, the leftover soil will be soaking and rot the roots

I would love to know how you made the planters that you showed us when you were sitting and doing the majority of your talking. You showed the variegated hoya (I missed the name), and the pot with the plant and pon was clear, like an orchid pot, then you had the clear part with the water, and then it looked like you had a white pot that you cut the bottom off of to cover it, but could still see the water reservoir at the bottom. I’d love for you to explain that, or even do a video about that?? Thank you so much for your great video!

    Great video Fonnie. I use a lot of Lechuza Pon in the Lechuza self-watering planters. All I would say is you can grow in an aroid type well draining soil substrate with pon at the bottom of the self watering planter so you don’t have to remove most of the soil. As long as the root’s aren’t root bound when you repot you are fine leaving soil substrate on the plant. I also found plants took better to Pon when they had a good root system. Small cuttings with fine roots can struggle. A very informative video and keep up the good work 👍

    Thank you for the kind words and sharing your experience, Andrew🙋🏻‍♀️ for plants having roots that are easier to separate from soil (eg Hoyas, philodendron, syngonium), I mostly remove as much soil as possible. This is because I can avoid/ remove bugs in the soil (especially those with thousands of legs🤮) But for plants with roots tangled together tightly with soil (eg strelizia and palm trees) I mostly keep most of the soil that the roots are wrapped with, and make sure ends of the roots can touch the Pon😊

    If the plant is in a soil pod, is it best to leave it whole or try to remove as much as possible. I am growing Alocasias. I usually remove the soil, but would really rather leave in place if it won't kill the plant. I keep mine in semi hydro with a catch pot, and flush every week before adding fresh nutrients.

If I'm using a self watering planter with a wick and reservoir, during the transition phase where I water over the top as you suggest, do I water over the top until the water reservoir is completely filled.. watering over the top again when the reservoir is empty via wick? Or should I water over the top and then leave the water reservoir empty (dumping water from reservoir), watering again in 5-7 days? Appreciate the help!

    @@jaykhor It depends on the amount of water roots. I.e. in the beginning phase when there is no water roots in the reservoir, I will water from the top until there is excess water coming out from the drainage. No need to dump the excess water as long as it is not so much (ie 1-2mm layer). When you see water roots growing into the water reservoir, I will still water from the top, and you can let the excess water fill up the water reservoir gradually.
