Advantages of LECHUZA-PON
LECHUZA-PON is a high-quality mineral plant substrate suitable for almost all indoor and outdoor plants, including more demanding varieties such as orchids and citrus. It is made from carefully selected, clean mineral stones, providing a stable and hygienic alternative to conventional potting soil.
Optimal air–water balance
The special composition of LECHUZA-PON ensures an optimal air–water ratio of approximately 45% water to 55% air around the roots. This balance supports healthy root development and helps reduce the risk of root-related problems. The structurally stable substrate does not compact, even after years of use, and maintains its airy structure, so it does not need to be replaced frequently.
Stable structure and reliable capillarity
During production, the granules are thoroughly screened several times to minimise fine particles. This reduces the risk of clogging in the root zone and helps maintain consistent capillary action. LECHUZA-PON provides a continuous capillary effect right up to the surface of the planter, ensuring that underplanted arrangements and shallow-rooted plants receive a steady water supply.
Balanced pH and nutrient availability
The zeolite content in LECHUZA-PON helps stabilise the pH level in LECHUZA planters, creating favourable conditions for healthy plant growth. Macro- and micronutrients remain available to the roots over time, supporting even, vigorous development.
LECHUZA-PON also acts as a buffer for nutrients: it can absorb excess fertiliser and release it back to the plants when needed. This natural storage effect helps protect roots from damage that can occur with over-fertilisation.
Strong support and versatile use
The bulk density of LECHUZA-PON is designed to give plants a firm hold in the planter, which is particularly important for larger or top-heavy plants. This contributes to overall stability and makes it well suited for use in LECHUZA planters both indoors and outdoors.
Additional practical benefits
The mineral granulate can help bind odours, for example from decaying root parts. It also supports an even distribution of water and nutrients throughout the root area, encouraging compact, robust root growth and resilient plants that can be enjoyed over the long term.
LECHUZA-PON is an easy-to-use, low-maintenance substrate solution for anyone who wants reliable plant care performance in combination with LECHUZA planters.
