Thank you for making this video! I finally got some pon after being always out of stock. I recently transferred my a. forgettii and crystallinum to pon.
Thank you for making these videos. I started using Lechuza pon in my terracotta pots a few months back and so far so good, I also use Liquid Gold Leaf to feed them.... happy plants 🪴 happy plant parent
Really like your pon reviews. I transferred my anthuriums and alocasia to pon about a month ago and they’re all doing great. I transferred a Phil verracosum today and am keeping my fingers crossed. I’m thinking I’ll let the reservoir go dry for awhile before I fill it up about half way. I would love to see more videos on your pon plants and their progress.
I also just transferred a bigger verrucosum to pon. It looks a bit shocked and is hanging. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll recover after a few more days. I transferred a tiny one with almost no roots into pon a few months ago and it not only encouraged a ton of root growth very quickly but it's been living its best life in there, so I'm hopeful.
i'm so glad i found your channel! i am about to transfer some of my plants to diy pon and i'm doing a little research :^) i'm going to be traveling this month too which is why i'm looking into semihydro!
I've been using lechuza pon for hoya, philodendron and begonia. And so far, they've been doing better than my other plants in soil. My only problem plant is alocasia. I need to move my anthurium to pon because it's struggling. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I haven’t fertilized yet since I don’t use fertilizer out of growth season. I will probably start in may using a liquid fertilizer diluted in water. I will be using Liquid Gold Leaf, i think it is a european brand 🙈
I have a lot of aeroids in pon but not in self-watering pots. I just water them normally from above on the same schedule as before and they're quite happy. I'd also love a solution for when I travel, but it's clear not all plants really like self-watering pots unfortunately.
and a big question for me: what kind of rope is it that originally lechuza pots use for self passive water sucking? i used regular polyester rope for my DIY ones but i am not sure it works that well..
They do use just simple polyester rope. But I know other collectioners who uses semihydroponics go for felt sometimes. Just be careful it is not an organic material and a syntetic one instead because in the long term, organic material dissolves. ☺️
Such an informative review using the lechuza self watering pots together with pons in it entirely for Anthuriums. Could you advise when you were transferring your Queen Anthurium anrrow form and Crystallinum x forgetii did you wash off all the soil before you pot it into the lechuza substrate? Also, did you fill the reservoir to the maximum mark or only partially filled so as to leave a larger air space between the bottom of the insert pot and the water level? Thanks!
Hi! I wash off the pon because there is lots of dust in it somehow. But recently I started to put them in the pot and fill it with pon, then bring the pot to the bathroom and let water run through untill it is clear to wash the pon. This way it is easier then washing it beforehand! When I transfer plants to pon, the first two weeks I do not use the water reservoir, I just water them like I normally water any other plants, I just keep the substrate moist and I treat it like I treat aroid substrate. This way i give the plant some time to acclimate to semi hydroponics. After two weeks I start using the reservoir up to the half full mark. That is more than enough for me, as it keep for 2-3 weeks easily. Then i change the water to with fresh water. But if i were to leave for a holiday in summer, for more than 2 weeks, i would fill it to the maximum point. I hope this was helpful! xx
Good to see some proofs of the L Pon. Do you really not water your plants until the water indicator states the minimum water level? I am still concerning if L pon keeps no enough water for the plants. please advice
Oh! Wish you could send me a big tub of Lechuza! Can't find it in USA right now!😭 Have been making my own but without the fertilizer. Don't know what they use in their pon. I do know it only last about 3 months, if I got that right.💜
I know some people use leca or seramis with semihydroponics. (Seramis could be another European brand equivelant to pon.) My mum uses a mix she makes herself using perlite and vermiculite, i don’t know the ratio but it could be a starting point if you’d like to do some research. Slow release fertilizer in pon lasts 6 months according to lechuza but you can always use additionsl liquid fertilizers. I hope this helps ☺️
I’ve had my alocasia dragon scale and red secret in pon for about two weeks. They’re struggling and their leaves are quite limp. Do you have any suggestions?
I use Mini Cube and Maxi Cube from Lechuza, I have just started to try out Cubico and Elho Self Watering Planters as well. I aldo made my own self watering pot recently, I will post a video about it soon. ☺️

You’re welcome 😊
aww its kinda sad to see the plants that we cant easily find in turkey but well.. good work.. DIY lechuza pon experimenter here ✌🏻
That’s great! If you’d like to share your own formula maybe someone else can benefit from it ☺️

I also will be using LGL starting from March onwards, thank you for your kind comment 💚

Thank you so much, I have 2 more videos coming soon related to pon, semi hydroponics and self watering pots. :)

If you DM me on insta i can send you some cool accounts who did some experiments with DIY PON!
Great video!! My anthuriums root system is amazing in leca but I struggle with leaf damage in leca, I am hoping they’ll love lechuza more!

Arent Alocasias always problem child 👀
My alocasia are so happy in lechuza!!! No supplemtal humidity.
YAY! They are looking beautiful! Please do updates! What, when, & how often are u going to fertilize? Ty, enjoyed!💜

Woow, they look gorgeous 💚💚

I am making a video about this for this week ☺️
@@italktomyplants Great, looking forward to it :)
Where are these pots from I love them
where do you buy those pots ? thanks

Beautiful! Thank you for posting this videos ... so informative! be well and safe
Hi, thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Some of my post are from Lechuza, some Elho and some I made myself ☺️
@@italktomyplants you should do a vid on the pots you prep yourself ... that would be interesting:)
@@deniseg3562 actually the 4th video of this series is about that ☺️ it is already published
@@italktomyplants oh excellent ... I am going to watch that right now actually:)

@@italktomyplants Very helpful and detailed - many thanks - keep up your pons videos going - very useful! Thank you very much!

Yes sometimes i even forget for a few days but they do okay ☺️

@@italktomyplants Ty💜
This is very helpful! TY!
Glad to hear this 💚
I think i will move my monsteras to pon soon but i‘m not sure about the rare philodendrons... have you tried orchid pon?
I haven’t yet, but i was advised to do that too!
It will be on my next order from Lechuza definitely.
I’ve had my alocasia dragon scale and red secret in pon for about two weeks. They’re struggling and their leaves are quite limp. Do you have any suggestions?
I have zero Alocasia in my collection I dont think I could help you there 😥💚
Where are the pots from? Can you post the link
They are from Lechuza 🙌🏼
What’s the name of the pots? Look so good!
I use Mini Cube and Maxi Cube from Lechuza, I have just started to try out Cubico and Elho Self Watering Planters as well. I aldo made my own self watering pot recently, I will post a video about it soon. ☺️
Do you top the pons with sphagnum moss?
Yes i do, around the stem i pack it up to promote root growth ☺️
Hello from The Netherlands. May I ask which size pots are those you're using? Thanks
Hello so fat the ones on videos are all Mini Cube from Lechuza ☺️
@@italktomyplants Thank you
@@teslapower5461 omg, i meant so far* not so fat 🥲
