- Hey my name is Thijmen from Plantingplants and this is a follow up video on my previous video about growing plant in Lechuza Pon, an inorganic substrate that consist out of lava stone and pumice. In this video I will show you the process from growing in soil to growing in the lechuza pon.
This is such an easy way of growing plants and I'm really happy with the results.

I never heard of "PON" until I found your channel I am going to buy "PON". I have some nice plants that are struggling. Thank you. I love your videos!! Keep them coming.
Liked, shared and subscribed! The calmness of your voice and the way you explain each step so clearly based off of your own personal experiences makes your video not only educational, but a pleasure to watch and listen to. I love that you showed us your proof that Lechuza pots are just a gimmick to make money, and are completely unnecessary to grow plants successfully in Pon. You're as honest, real, and genuine as a person can be. You simply shared what you have discovered works well through your own trials and errors, and your generosity of sharing the wisdom you have acquired will no doubt help us all to avoid mistakes we would have made had we not watched this video. Thank you for being such a caring and genuinely helpful person. Your boyfriend is a very lucky man, and I hope he appreciates you as much as we do. 🥰
Ah this comment really made me smile. Thank you so much for the compliments and nice words. I really appreciate it!!!
I like the fact you don’t use lechuza pots. I’ve been using pon for 3 months now. I’ve purchased lechuza pots for every plant I put pon in. It cost me a fortune when all I needed was a normal pot and tray of water 😄🙈. Great video and I’m a new subscriber here. Found you by googling how to use pon without lechuza pot lol. I was worried about the watering part. Keep up the good work 👏💚🌱. Big plant hugs from the U.K. 👍🏻
Thanks Tracy for the nice comment. Absolutely true, you don't need those pots. Big hugs back and thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it. 😍
Hi Thijmen,
I start transferring my plants into a mineral mix (like Lechuza) by washing the organic potting soil out right from the beginning. Thus, I do not disturb the tender roots of e.g. tropical Hibiscus. In my experience plants like Hoyas and tropical Hibiscus have a habit of sulking, and they make a slow recovery when I tear the root ball up for starters.
Other than that, I proceed the same as you: lukewarm water does the job.
Actually, I add a certain amount of clay pebbles to my mineral mix. Whether or not this is a real amendment I don't know. But it works for me.
Happy planting and stay safe.

Hi Marc, thanks for sharing your experiences! Sounds like you know what you are doing. I sometimes do add LECA but only to cover up the holes. Happy planting and stay safe aswell! ⚡️
Thank you so much for making another video about pon! Very helpful! Love the HP jokes too
Thanks for the nice words! 🙏🏼 Wingardium-thankiosa 😂
Lovely plant collection at the end. Great info on pon thankyou very much
That LECA plug trick is brilliant!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm about to make the leap to Pon, you've given me the confidence to go for it! 🤞 Your plants are beautiful by the way 😊
Take that leap, you're gonna love it! :)
Very informative.
I've been watching a lot of pon videos, and was intimidated by the price of having to buy all those self-watering planters. Using pots with a tray full of nutrient water is a great idea, and will give me a place to put excess duckweed and frogbit from my aquariums, thanks!
Again, I really like this idea haha.
Ahh nice vid!! Love how you display all those plants on that like plateu hihi.
Thank you!
Super interesting video, just what I needed! The quality of your video is also really good and I love your interior style :D
Thank you so much. Appreciate it! :D
There will be a HUGE in-depth Lechuza Pon growing guide available in the near future. Interested? Check my highlights on instagram: instagram.com/plantingplants
New subscriber , i have been trying out pon on a few plants its early days so hope they live. 🍀🌱🌿
Thank you for this! Do you rinse the pon before you use it?
Great video ⚡️
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
If you use a shower or a hose you can get most of the soil without breaking the root ball. Or you can use a bucket of water to save water
Thanks! I did not had an outdoor space with a hose back then and I didn't want to put all the soil through the drain haha. A bucket is indeed a good idea! :)
I love your plants setup and use of terra cotta pots for pon! I always used these pots for plants who’s soil needs dry out (monstera, pothos, philo, alocasia (if not in leca)) so very interesting choice…I do have a question though, since I’ve never used pon before and would like to start (after I make my own). In your setup you have the water level pretty shallow…even if yiu filled up the tray to the top the level of water still seems like it would be lower than I’m used to keeping my reservoirs (1/3 up)….is it not necessary with pon?
Helpful hint: in English, we like to use the term “lukewarm water” to describe medium water ☺️👍🏻
Hahaha thanks girl, I actually used this word in my new video thanks to you!
hahaha we all have temped water.
hi! thank you for this video :) can I ask do you un pot the plant whilst is transitioning from soil into pon to check on the roots and remove any dead ones?
Cool video. I have a question. I bought a very large Philo that is in Pon. It has drainage holes on the side. How do I know how to water it properly? I fear that I will give it to much water which now makes me fear that I give it not enough :D
Hey! Very informative and helpful! I bought Vulcaponic, because the store clerk told me that it was basically the same. Do you perhaps know if it also contains pre-added fertilizer? Oh, en ik vroeg me ook af waar je die groene/blauwe bakken hebt gehaald waarin je terracotta staan (14:37 in de video)
How do you know when you water your plants in the pon that they are watered enough?
Good Day! I love your video and how you explained everything. I just purchase Pon because I have been getting lots of little nets and I have been watering on the bottom. Are there any specific plants you recommend not to place on Lechuza pon? Or any plant is ok with this pon?
Thank you!
Where can I find a long tray like the one under your plants?
This is very useful, thank you! How do you water them if you want to still use traditional pots with the decorative outer pots?
You can just water them but pon dries out quickly so you have to be a very frequent water’er 😂
Very good video! since Lechuza Pon is unavailable for purchase, I made my own,by watching another video on how to, actually
works very well..I love the tray with the plants, something will keep in mind next time I am out shopping for pots.
Interested in your recipe 😉
@@mhoffmeyer7768 Hello
I order from Bonsai Jack, and use lava rock pumice and zeolite..I also order from Amazon, self watering pots..a video called Plants with a view explains the rocky mix and how much for each, zeolite is found on ebay.
I loved your explanation..you answered a lot of questions. Have you tried pumice? I was on my way to use that substrate but now I need to try pon also.
Thanks Judy for you kind words. I actually never tried pumice only but this substrate is made from pumice and lava stone so I guess it's kinda similar!
Hi, came across your channel while trying to find out the best way to go about transferring a FLF tree in to the Pon...any suggestions? It's not a small potted plant, it's a big rooted tree
I love the idea of covering a hole with one leca. Will it drain good?=)
Hello
please where can i find Gold leaf , Amazon doesn't have it , thanks
Do you have to flush the pin?
Hi there!
Thank you for this video about lechuza pon.
I just tried this stuff out but I cant find the info about watering the plants?
How often do you water them now or do you have to put the pot into a bit of water?
Hey! Check my other video about growing in pon on my channel. I explain how I water them right there. Greetings, Thijmen
quick question, is lechuzapon diffrent from the culcastrat that 123planten for instance sells? my musa tropicana did GREAT on vulcastrat but I am terrified to out my monstera variegata on pon because it seems to be more wet.
I'm not sure tbh, but my thai constellation is growing perfectly in pon so I wouldn't worry. The substrate isn't staying wet at all.
Lovely video! I was searching for videos about pumice, but found this instead. Great info. The audio level of your voice is a little quiet though, and I had a hard time hearing your explanations, even though your English is great!
Hey Erin, thanks for the tip!
Well done. Good, thorough instructions. I have mine sitting in cache pots. But I never considered bottom watering them with terra cotta. Makes sense though. Thanks for sharing our tips.
Thanks for sharing. I use some with cache pots aswell but I also love the look of TC! How long have you been growing in pon?
I appreciated the Harry Potter jokes 🧙♀️
Can I plant banana palm into pon?
Hi I want to plant a large fidel tree is the Lechuza Pon. I'm worried about damaging the roots... is it essential to get rid of all the soil? Could you have a mix of the soil and the pon? let me know!
Hey there, I wouldn't worry about the roots, especially fiddle leaf figs have thick roots so there is absolutely no reason to worry. But you can use the lechuza in another way but I have never tried that. Check their website, they explain it there.
Do you wash your Pon first? I find that there’s a lot of sediment and dust on mine.
Hey Jay,
I did it a few times before using it but I didn't experience a lot of difference so I don't do it anymore.
Just transferred my plants to pon and 1 of them seems struggle. I'll hold on for a month like you recommended.
They will bounce back!
Where did you buy the Liquid Gold leaf?
The official website!
So now you just water it like a normal plant in soil? Can you use a setup like with LECA where it sits in a reservoir of water? I’m so confused!
Hey, don't be confused. I have a whole guide on my RUclips channel answering all your questions but the short answer, yes you can water normal OR use a setup like with LECA.
Won't terracotta kept then moist constantly? I thought they need a drying period. Please explain more. I love terracotta. I just took my andasonii out of her clay pot and put it in a lechuza self watering pot. It's been 2 weeks and I have 2 new leaves already.
Hey Kay,
It won't stay wet but it will stay a little bit moist. But as I mentioned (did I? :P) sometimes I let the tray run dry just in case it might stay to wet. But due to the fact that it's so airy, the chances of rot are very little!
Greetings, Thijmen
@@PlantingPlants thank you. I will try one in terracotta with water in a saucer.
If you soak the roots in water, the soil comes of much easier!
I thought PON had fertilizer in it and is good for a year???
Where do buy the Pon?
Hey Louisa, you can buy it online from the official website and it’s also available on Amazon!
Pon is pretty much the same as Bonsai "soil" with added fertilizers.
None of my hoyas have good roots like that. 😥😥😥
It takes time haha
so, Pon is basicaly pumice?
It's not only pumice but pumice is indeed one of the ingredients! :) It also has lava rocks and zeolite in it + added slow release fertilizer.
