What's the obsession over Lechuza Pon about? 

 

Ready? Set? Get your grow on the semi-hydro-PON-ic way with Lechuza Pon. This is not repackaged, not a copy, it is the genuine, original Lechuza Pon you've heard YouTubers and planty Instagrammers rave about. sourced from Germany, in the original bag as shown.


This soil-less substrate is a favourite with famous Plant-Tubers the world over, with the best known being Kaylee Ellen (from The Rare Plant Shop UK fame), and many others with larger collections.


However that doesn't mean Pon is out of reach for those us with more modest indoor plant jungles. The Spruce calls Pon "...the home jungle secret plant influencers don't want you to know about" because Pon is so often sold out. I will try and maintain a steady supply for you, however there may be times you need to go on the waiting list (if you see the Add to Cart button above it means I'm in stock right now).


I started my Pon journey due to a mix of curiosity about what the planty YouTubers and Instagrammers were on about, combined with a stubborn Hoya cutting who refused to root, even with my normal 'secret weapon' combo of fern fibre and GT CCS rooting formula. Spoiler alert: Pon did the trick.


Turns out I'm not alone in the Hoya + Pon trick. Eula from @botanyplantslately says:


“My Hoya Wayetii was in Leca. It had been dormant for quite some time. So I decided to switch the substrate to pon, and the difference of the leaf growth after a few weeks was amazing!  My Hoya Rigida was rooting in perlitre and I transferred it to pon and shot out two new leaves after 3 weeks. I have also tried rooting some Hoya nummularioides in different mediums such as water, Leca, perlite and pon. The cutting in pon rooted quicker than the others.”


What is Pon?


Pon gets its name from 'Semi Hydro-PON-ics'. It's a popular 'remedy' for fungus gnats, just like Leca, but tends to be more user friendly than Leca for growing and propagating, and is used both added to potting mix, as well as by itself. Pon is a soil-alternative. Lechuza Pon is the 'gold standard' and their ingredients for Pon are pumice, zeolites, lava rock and a little short-term slow-release fertiliser boost.

What are the benefits to plants? 


Lechuza Pon has the 'magic ratio' of 45% water and 55% air. Wait. Did you hear that? That was the sound of your aroids and hoyas breathing a sigh of relief. It's almost impossible to overwater in Pon, meaning the risk of root rot is hugely reduced.  Pon is also loved for pretty much eliminating some pests, like Fungus Gnats, and both reducing the risk of and making treatment of other pests both faster and easier.

 

What plants do well in Pon?


Plants that thrive in an airy, free-draining mix, do best with a dry spell between watering, prefer lightly moist conditions, or are prone to root rot if over-watered. Hoyas and Aroids like Philodendrons, Monstera, Pothos, Epipremnum and more all make the list. 


What's in Pon?


Different brands have slightly different combos, but the Pon I sell is a combo of pumice, zeolites, lava rock and a little short-term slow-release fertiliser for that perfect 45% water 55% air balance. You've probably heard of 3 of those before (pumice, lava rock or better known as scoria to us kiwis, and slow-release fertiliser), but what are zeolites?


Zeolites are natural volcanic minerals. These clever little crystal-like stones trap harmful heavy metals and pollutants like lead and nickel. They have high water storage, soaking up excess water to keep the mix airy, releasing water when the roots need it. Zeolites also have a natural fungal inhibiting effect and help balance the pH.


Do you still need to fertilise with Pon?

Yes, just not at first. Lechuza Pon only includes a short-term, slow-release fertiliser. It lasts an average of 6 months, so no, you do not need to fertilise right away after transferring a plant in to Pon, but will need to return to your usual fertiliser routine after a couple of seasons.

Great pepper grinder
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 1pk
I had to replace the pepper grinder I had for many years and found this one on Amazon. I'm not sure if it is the same brand but it looks just about the same as the one I had. It works the same and I really like the glass container and the adjustable grinder. It works great!

Stylish, Reliable Grinders That Work Great Every Day
Color: Clear Glass, Size: 2pk
I purchased the Home EC stainless steel salt and pepper grinder set to replace an older mismatched pair, and these have been a solid upgrade for everyday kitchen use. They look clean and modern on the countertop and perform consistently whether I’m cooking or seasoning at the table. The adjustable ceramic grinders make it easy to switch between fine and coarse settings, which is especially useful when cooking different types of meals. ✅ Pros Solid stainless steel construction – feels sturdy and well made Adjustable ceramic grinding mechanism – easy to fine‑tune grind size Smooth, consistent grinding – no sticking or uneven output Clear window to see contents – helps avoid running out unexpectedly Comfortable to hold – good size and weight for regular use ❌ Cons Manual grinding only – not ideal if you prefer electric grinders Refilling requires removing the top – simple, but not spill‑proof No labeling included – easy to mix up salt and pepper if you use similar grains ⚠️ Things to Consider Before Buying Works best with dry sea salt and whole peppercorns Ceramic grinders are durable but should not be washed in the dishwasher If you cook in large quantities often, you may prefer a larger capacity grinder 👍 Reasons to Buy Practical and attractive addition to any kitchen or dining table Adjustable grind makes them versatile for cooking and finishing dishes Durable enough for daily use without feeling bulky Good value for a matching set, and you can often find a better price on Amazon compared to kitchen stores ✅ Final Thoughts Overall, the Home EC Premium Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder Set offers a nice balance of style, durability, and functionality. If you’re looking for dependable manual grinders with adjustable settings for everyday use, this set is a great choice. — Reviewed after regular home kitchen use
