You do a tremendous job on your well planned and thought out videos! Extremely good!
What is your plant substrate, not your DIY pon?
I missed your hoya collection. My hoya wish list is based from your hoya collection because they were all growing so pretty it make me wanna have them too. In fact some of my rare/uncommon ones that i bought are based from your collection.
Thank you! Glad I was able to inspire some Hoyas added to your collection 😊
Hi Stacy. Enjoyed your video as always. Loved the sound of you pouring and mixing your substrates. I could watch an entire video on just a that. Very relaxing. I’m always so happy when I get the notification that you have a new video.
Thanks so much Carmen! So happy that you are enjoying these little details in my videos 🥰
Wow, there was such an amazing difference with that Eliptica being moved back from the light that it looked like two different plants. Thanks, Stacy, for a great video as usual.
I was so amazed too and a little shocked that it didn't need as much light as I had thought 😆
I keep my "pon" plants in self watering pots. ( I place a microfiber wick in the plastic pot containg the pon.) It is then placed in an outer pot-without touching the bottom of the outer pot. This way I always have water in the outer pot. I don't use slow release fertilizer but I do water, when the outer pot is empty, with hydroponic solution. It has worked for me for over a year now.
Thanks for sharing! That's how I had my semihydro setup when I was still growing in Leca, however this time around with pon I wanted to keep it very simple and easy because honestly it was just too much work for me to keep up with back then hence the switch back to soil. So we will see how this goes! 😄
Thank You!!!💕
Can’t wait to see how these plants sfo a few months from now. Please keep us updated.
Will do! I'm intrigued to see how they do as well.
Was there ever an update on the second set of hoyas? Which did better? Pon or soil??
I would think slow release fertilizer will burn plants if left in water or semi hydro medium since water makes it releases all the nutrients too soon.
I know this video is over year old, but i’d like to ensure you that it is nothing premium about lechuza pon ingredients, it’s just same minerals you can buy cheaper from different supliers (although i had read some comments about differences in pumice quality depending of its origin). It is expensive in America because they need to transport it there. I personally prefer to buy my own ingrediens from bonsai store, i dont like pon anymore because particles are so small and dusty , it is too much pain to rinse it if you can’t do it outside of your home. I experiment latelly with mix of pumice, hard akadama or kanuma, perlit and small orchiata bark :) its not pure organic anymore but i like to experiment (orchiata does not get mold any way). Happy growing!
Thank you for sharing this experiment!!! It's so satisfying to see the results! Looking forward to seeing the second experiment results 💚
Enjoyed watching this video. So relaxing. Those are cute hoyas.
Your videos are my favorite to watch 💕 they are so relaxing - thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!! ♥️
Love your repotting videos…can’t wait for an update on those Hoyas 🪴🪴🪴
Thank you! Will def keep everyone posted.
Wow, that was cool. Very interesting to see the differences, and nice to know that you can DIY your own pon. I ordered a few cuttings that are rooting in pon, well see how they go. I am used to soil, so not really sure how often to water. Can’t wait to see the updates.
Pon in my opinion in terms of maintenance is very similar to growing in Leca. I'm starting with just a few plants to see how the plants do first.
That is such a good experiment. Ohh definitely a not so inexpensive plant should not be an experiment. Good decision on what you are comfortable w. I'll remember that. Thank you. I really appreciate this video. 🌱❤❤ SUBSCRIBED
Experimentation makes life interesting. But falling back to what you know works is also necessary some times. It's all about pivoting. Also a crucial skill in parenting! :-)
Exactly! Well said! 😁
Love your videos and hoyas!! 🌸🌸
Thank you 😊
Love your Hoyas, videos and music. So relaxing. Can you share your soil mixture.
Благодарю за видео 🙏 Я сейчас стараюсь всю свою коллекцию перевести на безземельный субстракт
Looking forward to the updates 💚
Will def keep you guys updated 😊
amazing😍👌
I personally really like rooting in pon and then eventually moving them in soil. I've understood that you have to feed plants a lot more in pon than in soil, even tho it has fertilizer in it.
Thanks for sharing!! 😊
Love absolutely love the relaxing video with the soft piano playing in the background. I am going to make the pon mix, thanks for the inspiration. You said everything was more or less even except the slow release fertilizer. Did you just put a cap full?
Another great video, I would like to see an update.
I have never used pons, but that might be a good idea for my Hoya Curtisii, which got root rots and is now in ICU.
The sun is getting stronger and brighter; I can sense the arrival of spring :-)
No harm in trying if your plant needs a little help! 😉
Would love an update!
I would definitely like to see an update. I received hoyas in pon from a seller and immediately repotted them in soil lol. I was too scared to try😅
Especially if our plants are doing well in our current growing medium we are less enticed to switch but experimenting is fun sometimes 😄
Hi, Stacy~ 💕
Hello 👋
Hi Stacy. Do you use any other fertilizers for your plants, and if so what are they? Great video by the way 🙏🏽
I use mainly Osmocote slow release and Schultz Liquid Fertilizer.
When watering the pon plants do you water like normal or is it in a hole-less pot? If it has holes, do you water more often than soil?
I did add drainage holes in the plastic containers. I water about the same - I am able to see whether there is anymore moisture in the soil-less medium through the clear containers so that let's me know when to water.
How much osmocote do you add to the mixture? And how often? Its scary to me to add fertilizer since plants will be in a vessel without drainage holes. Im just starting on this pon journey 😅
I just sprinkle it around honestly. I did make holes in the plastic containers for drainage purposes. With slow release fertilizer I've found myself to be a little more liberal with ratio.
you think youd have to water very often
I am not fond of this substrates cause the built of algae and can smell. Also i like displaying my plants nicely without seeing the substrates. If i wanted to see the roots I would just use lecca and large perlites in self watering pots with covers.
I haven't personally noticed any smell and yes there will be algae build up as with most substrates even with LECA. In terms of seeing the substrate, as you may know I prefer to use terracotta so I put the clear plastic containers inside my terracotta pots so it's covered.
