## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm new to gardening  so would like to know if the product is natural and organic?**
A: Lechuza Pon is not a natural or organic product.  LECHUZA-PON consists of high quality, mineral stones, that are free from contamination and pollutants.

LECHUZA-PON has the optimal air/water ratio for plants of 45% water / 55% air. The vulnerability to diseases is reduced. Even after some time, the structurally stable plant substrate does not condense and it keeps its air-permeable structure. LECHUZA-PON can be used for years, without having to be replaced!

If you are looking for an organic natural product I would push you in the direction for TerraPon and VeggiePon supplied by Lechuza, these would be classed as natural and organic products.

**Q: Why there is white mould on the surface of my pots of different type? Clean roots, no organic matter, they have good air flow. So far plants look ok**
A: In principle, LECHUZA-PON shouldn’t allow for mould to build up on the surface, as it does not consist of organic material - but dead roots or leaves can be a breeding ground for fungi in high humidity and moist substrate surfaces. The frequent occurrence in the autumn and winter months is related to the higher relative humidity indoors. There is also a possibility that mould spores are brought into the house on hands and clothing which has landed onto the PON via touch.

The emergency plan
Remove a layer of mould-monitoring plant substrate approx. 5cm thick from the surface. Wash it thoroughly and boil it in hot water, this will sterilise the PON. Then, put the dried substrate back into the planter. It is important that no dead plant parts remain in the substrate and that the plant is kept slightly drier. You can also prevent the formation of mould by immediately removing and disposing of fallen leaves, dead or diseased plant parts ie roots.

PON is reusable for its lifetime so please wash, sterilise and reuse multiple times.

**Q: I'm new to gardening  so would like to know if the product is free from chemicals and pesticides?**
A: LECHUZA-PON consists of high quality, mineral stones, that are free from contamination and pollutants. 
The substance zeolite stabilizes the ideal PH balance for healthy plant growth in your LECHUZA planter. Macro and micronutrients remain permanently.
The purely mineral plant substrate prevents the fungus that attacks the roots. PON is therefore suited for people that may have allergies.

**Q: What are the ingredients? The writing on the image is in German**
A: Lechuza Pon is an inorganic mineral potting soil. It consists of 4 key ingredients Lava, Zeolite, Bims and Slow-Release Fertiliser

Key benefits of each material:
Lava - Natural Volcanic Minerals, Sustainable release of micro-nutrients

Zeolite - Stabilises PH Levels inside the planting zone, Has High water and nutrient storage, binds heavy metals and pollutants, fungus and odour inhibitor.

Bims - High Air Pore Volume - High water storage capacity

Slow Release Fertiliser: 6-8 Month supply of NPK animal-free ingredients and releases nutrients as needed even at high temperatures.

Combined all elements give a perfect balance for plant growth with a 45% water and 55% air which is the ideal ratio required for plants to thrive.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by R***L on 29 October 2025*

Easy to use and so far plants seem to love it. I had to replant my piece lily, and usually these have a big old melt down when this is done but not this time, just waiting to see how they go over the next few months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for house plants
*by A***G on 1 October 2025*

I swear by this stuff for my house plants.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alocasias love this
*by P***Y on 17 September 2024*

I bought this after someone on Reddit recommended it for my sickly alocasia zebrina reticulata, it's made a huge difference. After a couple of weeks in pon he put out a new, glossy beautiful leaf. I have now put all my other plants in Pon. Monsters and philodendrons love it, peace lilies are no longer drama queens. I recently bought a couple of calatheas and so far they are doing okay too. I've even put a ficus benjamina in one - so far so good. I haven't given the plants a reservoir yet, I tried putting a spider plant into Pon with a reservoir and it rotted. They definitely need time to convert over and develop water roots. I top water about once a week then drain off any excess from my self watering pots. I shall try with a reservoir in a couple of months. This said, cuttings rooted in water are just fine with a reservoir.
