To Develop optimally, sensitive plants and delicate cuttings need a special plant substrate. BASICPON is a pure mineral plant substrate, which is exceptionally well suited to delicate plants and the cultivation of cuttings due to the absence of fertile. The peat-free plant substrate is volume-stable and provides the delicate roots with sufficient support in the planter. The optimum root aeration also promotes growth and prevents waterlogging. Thanks to the purely mineral components, fungus gnats and other pests are kept at bay. Mold growth is also prevented, making BASICPON suitable for people with allergies.
Suitable for all sensitive plants. BASICPON DOES NOT have fertilizer in it, enabling you to fertilize with specific nutrients based on the plant you are growing.
Ingredients include pumice, lava and zeolite. Same great makeup as the traditional Lechuza Pon, but without the fertilizer. Did you know Lechuza Pon is reusable and can last for several years? Just make sure to reapply fertilizer to keep your plants happy!
BASICPON Advantages
- BASICPON is formulated for sensitive plants and cultivation
- BASICPON is purely mineral
- BASICPON is not pre-fertilized, for need-based fertilizing
- BASICPON provides optimum root aeration for rapid growth
- BASICPON stores nutrients and releases them as required
- BASICPON prevents pest infestation and mold growth, particularly suitable for people with allergies
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.
Heavy metals and pollutants (e.g. from the water) are permanently linked.
The purely mineral-based plant substrate blocks fungi that can attack the roots. Therefore, PON is suited for people who suffer from allergies. It can also prevent bugs such as gnats, since they typically only nest in soil.
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.
Fit for sensitive plants like cuttings and seedlings.
