Forget soil, pon or leca: PAFCAL is here. Let's see if PAFCAL is the future of houseplant growing.
PAFCAL is a (relatively) new, organic soiless growing medium, originating from Japan. It is a colaboration between 2 colossal manufacturers, Toyoya & Suntory and is supposed to be a great alternative to soil for your houseplant growing.
It has started becoming more and more popular around South-East Asia for houseplant growing and semi-hydro - and it can be a good alternative to pon or leca too.
I recently managed to get my hands on some PAFCAL chips....so here we are! LET'S TRY IT and see if it's worth its $$$!

Hello dear, I saw your RUclips channel and understand you are a RUclipsr. Very nice video on your channel, I really enjoyed it. Total 296 subscribers and a Total of 37 Uploaded videos of your channel. I noticed one thing according to your channel your channel videos are not viewed and subscribed. You need to optimize your channel and do video SEO to reach your target audience. Otherwise, if you upload videos to your channel throughout the year, none of your videos will get viral views. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. And monetization of your channel will be on.
I have been using this, and just like soil, you have to see which plants like it and which ones done. I find plants with small roots, loves it, but plants like monsteras take a long time to adjust to it. Also I used to wet it before using it and I find it is easier to work with if you pot the plant then water through and don't pack it just drop in around the roots. I agree with her, just use it by itself because it is expensive. I had a disaster last week where my plants got knocked down from a windstorm and I had aroid mix and pafcal mixed together. I had to wait until it dried to pick that stuff out and it was a pain.
So far I have mixed feelings about it. I’ve been using it only for Hoyas, but there are a few that are growing nicely and a few that don’t. Still early days for concrete conclusions.
@@PlantyMary I have only used it on one Hoya and that is the Compacta. Still seeing plants with finer roots adjusting to this much faster than other roots. I am praying my Anthurium takes to it.
So glad I found your channel today! Loved seeing all these lovely Hoyas and I enjoyed all the information you gave on each plant. It was a nice treat for me to see Hoyas that I will probably not get to see elsewhere. I’m looking forward to seeing them mature in your care! Happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Thank you! Hopefully I will do them justice :-)
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I find the technology and R&D behind it super interesting as well. Time will tell if it’s worth the $$$ 😄
Hello Mary, How do you water yr pothos when it's stuck on the wall? Also, what is the substrate that you have used for it?
I just water the pot, all the branches with the aerial roots remain as is. Medium is just soil with lots (LOTS) of perlite for good aeration. Indeed pothos is so easy to grow, doesn’t need any special medium.
Thank you for this...very helpful. It never occurred to me that the leaf scarring could be mite damage.
What a lovely plants 🪴 Like 77 My friend thank you for good sharing Have a good relationship
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video
Nice video
What about using horticultural charcoal in your mix? Do you have any ideas on that?
I would probably add if I wasn’t using a wicking system - but haven’t tried adding any besides in my terrarium. With the wick it’s easy to flush - or use hydrogen peroxide if you want to clean the roots.
Oh wow... some of them really took off! I've been in hoya world for over a year, and some of my cuttings are on a constant brik of death for the whole year. :)
Truth is some hoyas are really slow growers. But if you have any that is supposed to grow fast and it’s not, I’d look for pests personally.
Thank you for the cultural advice and encouragement. I concur on the globulosa-it is also one of my favorites.
Globulosa is a stunning hoya - it has the whole package! :-)
Omg the Clemensorium!!! My favourite!!!! She is stunning!!! Yes yes yes ❤
I’m in love as well - although mine is struggling a bit atm… I think I will have to chop and reroot from scratch
The latifolia is most likely the sarawak… I have both of them and the dish leave one is more like succulent with less venation, mine came with the name Loyceandrasiana.
Thank you! Very interesting info. I will keep mine just as “latifolia” as I cannot confirm any other details from the supplier. It’s rooting nicely 😊
Very nice plants. I love your insularis! I’ve been growing one from a cutting since December 2023. It went from 4 leaves to 5 in as many months with a few roots. I just ordered a fuller plant. Not as full as yours. Looking forward to seeing your plants progress!
Thank you! I was super lucky I managed to find a full plant rather than a cutting of insularis. Nevertheless the roots (as I suspected) had some dry rot, so now I have it in water with the hope it will develop some healthy roots soon. Chance are I will need to chop chop chop...
ive never heard of sulfur treatment! can you link a product?
You can have a look at the “flat mites” video I have uploaded, it has info for different products - either store bought sulfur fungicide or actual sulfur powder. I have found sulfur to be very helpful with flat mite prevention
Got my Lacunosa on August 31, 2021, and since then, it's been one of my finest and biggest Hoyas. Blooms constantly! It was in Pon, in a small pot. Decided on April 3 to repot it into a larger pot, again in Pon! Unfortunately, the water roots that were in the reservoir largely disappeared. Haven't had any problems with any other Hoyas (I have almost 100). After 4-5 days, the leaves became soft and wrinkled, and have been like that ever since. It's been a month! It hasn't dropped any leaves, but looks extremely thirsty. It's also been soaked in water for a few days. Very suspicious Lacunosa! ;-) Thanks for a great RUclips channel!
I have found lacunosa to be extremely temperamental in pon! I have restarted my lacunosa and decided to chop the heck out of it. Half of the cuttings became mushy and died after moved to pon from water but the other half is going strong and are growing like crazy now. So I ended up with 4 plants. I’d say take some cuttings and restart the plant. At least you won’t lose it. …and thank you for your kind words!
Got a Hoya New Guinea Ghost a while ago, and it was packed with flatmites! I put it in a sulfur bath.. And not seen a s single flatmite since. Its now one of my favorite Hoyas. :)
I look forward to the repot and seeing how they do. Linearis is my mountain. I just bought one and proping in Leca,
Well, 2 cuttings have just started rooting in water, I have put a couple more in ADA aquarium soil (similar to stratum), depending on how many will make it I may do half in pon (semi-hydro) and half in orchid mix... as I have read mixed reviews on linearis in pon... TBD. (I think its behaviour is similar to retusa but can't say for sure yet).
@@PlantyMary I'm also thinking of trying a stratum/perlite mix. I know stratum breaks down but happy to top up for this plant if it works. What we do for the plants we love 🤣
Just have in mind that if you mix with perlite, the perlite will end up all on the surface and stratum on the bottom. I had this happen with some other propagations. I'd say a mix of pumice + stratum would work 100% better. I'm actually having one of my kerrii in a stratum - pon mix and looks like she likes it.
@@PlantyMary Very good point 🌻will have to get some
Nice hoyas. Hope thee will do well in Pon.
Thanks! So far so good, although I had to restart the endauensis due to root rot.
Nice Hoyas, good luck on your linearis!
Thank you!
Nice video. Love Hoya chinghungensis. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, it's quicky becoming a favorite for me as well! Thanks for watching :-)
i just made my first batch and i cant get it clean for the life of me. spent a long time with the garden hose, but when i put it in a clear vessel(no drainage) the small bit of water i leave in the bottom was cloudy from the pon. do you boil it before first use?
Even if you boil you will always have some minor residue. The cloudiness usually comes from the pumice. If you have washed thoroughly the first time, I wouldn't worry much about it ;-)
@@PlantyMary thank you :)
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!

I am contributing to a good office environment! (No pun intended 😅)
Hello from Canada, just found your page. Love Hoyas, going down the rabbit hole learning about plant pest. Thought I had thrips at one time and threw out a couple plants haven’t seen anything else. At that time I was going to be away from home and was unable to treat them weekly. 😢 I am now prepared to deal with any pest that want to challenge me. Some people wash off the old Sulphur weekly then put fresh on I think I would just leave it on and add on top of old….what is your thoughts? It has become an obsession now looking my plants constantly and it is taking out all the enjoyment. Just heading over to watch some more of your videos. All the best with those flat mites.
Hello! I’m sorry you had to throw away plants but this may happen in a plant journey. I have also thrown away plants in the past - not Hoyas tho! I hold these for dear life! 😂 You will indeed need to wash and re-apply, for 2 reasons: 1. More mites will be washed away with washing 2. If you don’t wash, more sulfur will be accumulated so it will be harder for the plant to photosynthesize and it may start going downhill. Good luck!
Very informative video! I didn't know that you need a microscope to check flat mites. Good luck to your hoya😊
Thank you! Yes unfortunately they are suuuuper tiny, not visible with naked eye
Just for sharing, I don't have many Hoya, I learn flat mites from youtube but I haven't buy a microscope. When I saw some symotom like that on my Hoyas. I try to use a piece of Sulphur Soap, then use a cutter to make it into power like. Mix it with water in a spray bottle (if you mix it with very little water it will be quite sticky) Spray it on the Hoya and rub on the plant with fingers and let it stay. Or can just rub the soap on hand and rub it on plant 😆 I find new leaf grow again. I will do it if I have time just for cleaning.
That’s a good piece of advice! I prefer to use the powder as it’s less steps and more concentrated solution, but that can be useful for those who cannot find pure sulfur powder or the sulfur fungicide.

Thank you! Same to you! I feel bad for not touching the lion, as I was filming 😅
I too struggle with lacunosa and other small leaf Hoya. I just can’t seem to make them thrive 😢
I blame my big, clumsy fingers for destroying all my small leaf hoyas! :-D Joking aside, it's harder esp. if you get cuttings, like I do, rather than big, established plants.
