Its contamination-free mineral stones and zeolite ensure balanced nutrient delivery, pH stability, and odor absorption, supporting robust root growth and long-term plant health across a wide variety of plants including orchids and citrus. Durable and structurally stable, it prevents soil compaction and supports planter stability both indoors and outdoors. ## Description LECHUZA-PON is the perfect alternative in places where conventional soil cannot or should not be used. LECHUZA-PON Advantages: LECHUZA-PON is a perfect fit for all plants (even orchids and citrus plants). LECHUZA-PON consists of high-quality, mineral stones that are free from contamination and pollutants. LECHUZA-PON has an ideal air / water ratio for plants (45% water/55% air). Even after years, this structurally-stable plant substrate does not condense and keeps its air-permeable structure. LECHUZA-PON can be used for years without needing to be replaced! When producing LECHUZA-PON, multiple sievings minimize the amount of fine particles in the substrate. This prevents an increase of silt in the root area and sustains long-lasting capillary action. The included zeolite maintains the ideal pH balance in your LECHUZA planter to allow for healthy plant growth. Macro- and micronutrients remain permanently available. LECHUZA-PON has continuous capillary action, drawing water up into the planter. Even undergrowth and small rooted plants get the perfect amount of water this way. The LECHUZA plant substrate provides a balanced distribution of nutrients to the roots of your plant. Through this supply, the plant builds a consistent, compact root dispersion and can grow into a robust plant that will stay with you for a long time. LECHUZA-PON is like a buffer that absorbs excess fertilizer and gives it back to the plant when needed. This natural nutrient storage prevents the burning of the roots through overfertilizing. LECHUZA-PON has an adjusted bulk weight. Your plant is firmly supported within the planter, which is important for larger plants. LECHUZA-PON ensures that your LECHUZA planter remains stable and is also perfectly suited for use outdoors. The substrate is a natural odor absorber for things like dead roots. PON is free-flowing and can be used with a shovel to fill planters in place of dirt. When planting with LECHUZA-PON, you don't need to completely free the root ball from the soil. LECHUZA-PON Components: Zeolite German washed pumice German, light Lava (permanently supplies your plant with iron) Fully-coated, premium-quality fertilizer. The coating is purely organize and breaks down without leaving any residue. The fertilizer supplies your plant with nutrients for up to 6 months. Fit for all plants, including foliage, flowering plants like orchids, citrus plants, herbs, tomatoes, fruit trees, cacti, and more. Review: Best semi Hydro medium for your plants - Oh my gosh I love this stuff so much the color is so beautiful in my planter pots the size of the bag is really a good size it allowed me to repot about 70 of my plants all in various sizes from 4 in to 8 in pots. Functionality is amazing all my plants are thriving. It provides awesome drainage this is something I had to learn on my own as a new user of pon, but this is the semi Hydro medium meaning you have to leave water in it at least halfway. Other than that little learning curve it's very easy to use and you get a good amount for your money. But don't buy it when it's $100 or more wait till it gets back in stock and you can get it for $29 and free shipping like I did. I'm glad I bought four bags when I I first ordered because I did not know how big the bags were. I got another bag of 7 lb and it was literally a 1 gallon Ziploc bag. So I bought four just to make sure. It's got slow release fertilizer in it already and you don't have to rinse it before using it's already ready. Review: Ideal substrate - I’ll always repurchase! Looks cool, lasts forever (just need to sterilize between plants), wicks moisture way better than Leca, and goes a long way. Ideal for semi hydro, great for alocasias in particular, and as I said, I vastly prefer it to leca! ## Features - LECHUZA-PON is a perfect fit for all plants (even orchids and citrus plants) - LECHUZA-PON consists of high-quality, mineral stones that are free from contamination and pollutants - LECHUZA-PON has an ideal air / water ratio for plants (45% water/55% air) - Fully-coated, premium-quality fertilizer feeds plants nutrients for 6 months - LECHUZA plant substrate provides a balanced distribution of nutrients to the roots of your plant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085DRS1CT | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,993 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #246 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Lechuza | | Brand Name | Lechuza | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,645 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04008789195623 | | Item Type Name | Plant substrate | | Item Weight | 10 kg | | Manufacturer | Lechuza | | Manufacturer Part Number | 19562 | | Model Number | 19562 | | Style | Potting Mix | | Style Name | Potting Mix | | Unit Count | 403.3 Ounce | | Volume | 12 liters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lechuza - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04008789195623 - **Item Weight:** 10 kg - **Style:** Potting Mix - **Unit Count:** 403.3 Ounce ## Images ![Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XDwvc5ewL.jpg) ![Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UIYXaEqvL.jpg) ![Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pxFjxcnfL.jpg) ![Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wuriGt6vL.jpg) ![Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kEVg9SFSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this being sold by the real Lechuza manufacture?** A: Yes it is.

Looks cool, lasts forever (just need to sterilize between plants), wicks moisture way better than Leca, and goes a long way. Ideal for semi hydro, great for alocasias in particular, and as I said, I vastly prefer it to leca! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best growing medium on the market!!!!! *by S***R on December 4, 2023* As an avid houseplant enthusiast, particularly for philodendrons, I have experimented with various growing mediums to ensure optimal growth and health for my plants. After trying out Lechuza Pon, I must say I've been thoroughly impressed and believe it to be one of the best options available for philodendrons. Perfect Drainage and Aeration: Lechuza Pon offers exceptional drainage, which is crucial for philodendrons as it prevents root rot, a common issue with these plants. The medium is porous enough to maintain the right balance of air and moisture around the roots, promoting healthy growth. Nutrient Retention: This substrate does an excellent job of holding onto nutrients without becoming waterlogged. This feature is particularly beneficial for philodendrons, as it ensures they receive the necessary nourishment over time. I've noticed a remarkable improvement in the vibrancy and health of my philodendron leaves. Ease of Use: Lechuza Pon is incredibly easy to use. It's ready right out of the bag, and there's no need for additional amendments. This convenience is a big plus, especially for busy plant owners or beginners who might be intimidated by more complex soil preparations. Long-Lasting: Another great advantage is its longevity. Unlike regular potting soil, Lechuza Pon doesn't break down as quickly, meaning it can be used for a longer period before needing replacement. This not only makes it more cost-effective but also less disruptive to the plants, as repotting can be minimized. Overall Impression: My philodendrons have thrived since switching to Lechuza Pon. They are healthier, and their growth has been steady and robust. For anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use growing medium for their philodendrons, I highly recommend Lechuza Pon. It’s a game-changer in plant care. If they are happy, so am I! ## Frequently Bought Together - Lechuza 19562 PON Mineral Plant Substrate Potting Mix for Indoor Gardening, 12 Liter Bag, Grey - yarlung 6 Pack Self Watering Planter with Water Level Indicator, 5 Inch Plastic Plant Flower Pots Nested Container for Indoor Plants, Herbs, Aloe, Outdoor Gardening --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/372459313-lechuza-19562-pon-mineral-plant-substrate-potting-mix-for-indoor](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/372459313-lechuza-19562-pon-mineral-plant-substrate-potting-mix-for-indoor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
