Do you have a more in depth video of the "after you've put the plant in pon?" I've killed two plants so far and I have a big bag of pon I don't want to waste so I want to get it right. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong😢
Yeah I'm interested in that too. How do we water it? When do we fill the reservoir? When do we start to fertilize it? I'm struggling there too, so I would love to see a follow-up video :)
I have several of my plants switched over to Pon, BUT I have no clue how to properly grow my plants in it & them not die.. I switched my Thai Constellation over to Pon & then had to put it back in soil about 3 or so weeks later because it wasn't doing well at all.. He's still amazing & growing but I'd really like to switch most of my plants over to Pon just don't really know how it works..
Q: when you transfer do you water it through and keep a water reservoir straight? Forgive me if I missed it and you answered this in the video already Thank you for this video. ❤
Thank you so much for this video!! I am new to using Lechuza Pon, and need to re-pot my Alocasia Polly plants. I am so nervous, because historically my plants have not done well after repotting. So I bought the Lechuza pon, and with help from your video, I hope that I can be successful this time around!
Yay! Love this video! ❤ I’ve been wanting to see how you transition plants to pon - your IG posts inspired me to do this and it’s been overwhelmingly successful so far! Also, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who talks to myself and loses patience sometimes when repotting! It’s a real struggle! 😂
Love watching your videos, they brighten up my day ❤ Ive been seeing people transfer their plant to water first, before moving to pon. Would you ever do this? 🤔
Can you talk about how you water when first transferring to self watering pots and pon. My pon transfers are staying too wet so I’ve just been watering and not keeping the reservoir full until after it’s established. Does that make sense?
Hello, I like watching you and thanks for all your tips and care for all indoor plants. I have questions. I had been using Leczhua pon since June. I had bought an A. Jacklyn from online of Homedepot. I left in the soil it came with which is in self watering planter. After a week o acclimation in my home.. I checked on it and saw a spider mites. So I took it outside to host it the leaves,stem and the rinse the Pon. After it dry the leaves I sprayed with Bonide spray Neem oil. I put a new water with diluted with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Today, the leaves are wilted. I love to save this plant. I wipe down the leaves with just water and rinse the pond again and add water. Any SUGGESTIONS please.. Help!
First off I love these videos secondly I recently transferred all my plants to pon. I don’t have self watering pots but use terracotta watering stakes. I hope this works and my plants survive, I think they still have to adjust to their new substrate😅.
I hate how so many growers and manufacturers sell massive amounts of plants in straight up peat moss… holds so much water. No perlite or anything… not even a pinch! At least around here in SoCal. I used to believe that you shouldn’t repot a newly purchased plant too soon, to let it adapt, but lately I threw that mentality out!! It’ll adapt so much faster if you bite the bullet and repot, preferably as you’ve done, into semi hydro, pon, or at least a more aerated mix! And people wonder why they can’t grow anything.. it’s the pest! Also I just bought a few plants recently, like Peperomia argyreus, P. polybotrya, Croton, some Calatheas, Aphelandra, etc., and I discovered they still had this nursery “netting” around the roots! Totally constricted, and preventing them from growing. These are obviously not the biodegradable “jiffy cups” or seed starting cups that decompose, it’s like window screening! Some plants don’t have it but it seems the growers start thousands of baby cuttings in netting pots, and then when it’s bigger, they just put soil around it like it’ll disintegrate… nope!
I completely understand. It’s like these companies don’t want to make money! Lol Everyone’s looking for clear self watering planters and it’s crazy how few options there are.
I’m a big fan of your channel and when I saw your prior video unwrapping these plants from Canopy, I hoped you’d record a video transferring them to pon. I’m sooooo grateful to you for this video. I like Canopy plants choices and their prices somewhat affordable with discount codes. But I must say what others maybe thinking too, if these were free plants I understand your good relationship with them and you taking the blame for root rot. However, as a customer when I pay for the plant I expect healthy plants, all plant shops should inspect their plants prior to shipping. I also received 2 plants with root rot from them. If you think about, without customers there wouldn’t be so many plant shops. I believe Canopy should replace your plants that have rot at their cost, if you paid for them. Your raw emotions for the 2nd plant with rot showed your disappointment as well.
Thank you for the kind words. The reason I was so disappointed is because it truly was my fault. I don’t like unwrapping plants until it’s time to film my videos. I do it to maintain authenticity. I usually film the day I get them, but I wasn’t feeling well and let freshly watered plants sit in their containers, in their packaging for a week. I recommend Canopy because I really trust them. I see how hard they work to get it right. Please know that I wouldn’t have done the video if I thought I got rotted plants from them. 🫶
Very informative! Thank you. So far so good for me. All clear. What is not clear is the watering part. Did you add water to these two pots’ reservoirs immediately? If not, how soon after? Do you ever water from the top or only always by adding water to the reservoir? I’ve killed several plants in self watering pots and it’s still not entirely clear where I went wrong. Thank you!
Thank you! I literally went over the watering part, but thought I was getting too wordy so decided to cut it out. I should’ve left it in! 😅 When I’m using the self watering planters with wicks like the ones in this video, I fill the reservoir right after I’m done repotting. For the other types of self watering planters I like to keep the reservoir either dry or with very little water until I feel the plant has grown enough roots to handle the bottom of the substrate being constantly wet.
@@leafydiva I wish you had! Your presentation is always fun and helpful; I have not found any that I couldn’t finish 😆! Perhaps you could do a clip exclusively on watering your plants? I think many of your viewers would appreciate it. I know I would! Thanks!
Love this! I'm tempted to move my beginia and alocasia, I've read contradictory info. So i don't need to do a transition from soil, to water to pin? I can directly repot from soil to pon? Love your channel!
Even though all my begonias are in Pon it can get tricky. Their roots are so delicate. With my Brevirimosa, I took cuttings, rooted them in moss and then put them in Pon. For my pink Minx and Tangly mallet I painstackingly dusted all the roots off and put them fully in tact in Pon. They didn’t skip a beat. Depending on the kinds of begonia you have I’d probably root cuttings to put in Pon. Hope this helps! 🙂
I watered it right away. I only do that with the self watering planters that have a wick. For the other types of planters where the water sits in the substrate, I usually keep the water reservoir dry or with just a little water in it until the roots have grown enough for it.
Okay so I transferred two plants into pon from soil and one from water to pon and my two that went from soil to pon rotted and I had to take them back out and put them in water. Help me 😢😅
I'm wanting to transfer my Alocasia Zabrina from soil to Pon. Should I do the long transfer method and establish roots in water first to ensure a easier transition? Thanks in advance!
I'm very lucky I'm the kind who repot everything when I get it no matter what's the plant is 😅 I'm absolutely not patient at all, and I'm so affraid of the green house potting soil I prefer reporting everything up front 😅 So far I didn't had any problems but I know it's not everyone who is that lucky. 😢 The only exception is orchids in bloom, bur if I rescue an orchid in the sale section, I repot upfront for sure, specially irchide, the medium is usually a dence ball of moss who is old and many roots are dead!!!
Thank you! I got it from Canopy Plant Co. When I saw they had it stock I acted immediately! lol I have a discount code with them. If you use code: leafydiva15 you get 15% off your order. 😊💚
@@leafydiva thank youuu !! I will definitely use your code when they get more in stock. I’ve added her to my wishlist, but I’m gonna try to find a way for them to notify me when there’s more in stock. These are sooo hard to find in this size. I got a baby plant that was struggling about 2yrs ago& it didn’t make it. I was sad bc I really wanted to save her, but she was pretty bad w root& stem rot when a plant friend gave up on her. Thanks again !! If you happen to catch the restock before me on this site or any of your other affiliates, feel free to notify me. I appreciate you♥️💫
Genuine question: Cant you just cut of the majority of roots when transferring to pon cause all soil roots will die off anyway? Dont quite get why you'd have to keep them when the plant is gonna put its energy into producing water roots.
I’m glad you asked. I’ve heard that before and am not convinced of its accuracy. I’ve transferred so many plants to Lechuza-Pon over the past couple years and most of them keep their roots (some don’t). It really depends on the type of plant and how it’s transitioned. My Anthuriums for example rarely lose their roots when transferred. There are lots of factors.😊🫶
@@leafydiva oooh makes sense. wasn't aware that some plants keep their roots. i've only ever grown alocasia in lechuza pon and they typically lose their soil roots
@@ZeddMT2if they lose their soil roots, is it helpful to transition from soil to water and then pon? I have some expensive alocasias that came in soil and don’t want to shock them too much, or possibly kill them off.
Can you please post a detailed video of all the watering details after switching plants to pon? Thank you!
Do you have a more in depth video of the "after you've put the plant in pon?" I've killed two plants so far and I have a big bag of pon I don't want to waste so I want to get it right. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong😢

Yes, this! What’s the watering schedule like. Please make a video explaining this! 😊
I have several of my plants switched over to Pon, BUT I have no clue how to properly grow my plants in it & them not die..

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful houseplants lovely collection beautiful
Love your shirt! Beautiful plants just like their beautiful owner. So happy I found your channel. 🌱🪴💚
Oh my gosh you’re so cute with that feather duster 😊
I have a dying alocasia polly and moved it into perlite last week, it seems to be doing better.
Why not use water to get the soil off? I saw someone do that and I've been using that technique ever since. It's so much easier.
Love your videos! This one was so fun to watch. Even my 12 year old was fascinated by it 😂 Keep at it! Appreciate all you do 🙌🏻
Thank you so much! So glad to hear you two enjoyed the video! ☺️💚💚💚

Just discovered you tonight. You crack me up!!! LOVE your wit!!

Thanks to you I got an Ostrich Feather duster hehehehe. I think i love it already.

Wow Lovely Planting
Thank you for good sharing 😊 LIKE 283
My friend, have a good relationship 😊
What type of slow release do you use?
Do I need to rinse pon before using or can I flush it after potting?
I don't know why I found this so funny. Great job and very informational.
Please tell me what that gorgeous plant is behind your right shoulder!! Is that a FL beauty maybe? I need to know so I can put this on my wish list!!

Your plants are gorgeous! Do you have a plant room or is that your family living area?
Can you please make a video about how to watering pon if I don’t have transparent planter …
Do you it would be safe to take a young maranta lemon lime straight from soil to pon
First off I love these videos secondly I recently transferred all my plants to pon. I don’t have self watering pots but use terracotta watering stakes. I hope this works and my plants survive, I think they still have to adjust to their new substrate😅.
I'm going to give pon a try, but I want to know, about how many inches of water would I need at the bottom of a glass cilinder "pot" ?

No, you don’t have to use a self watering planter. You can use it in a planter like soil. Clear planters are great for Pon

For pots
that soil is $$$ and its never available
