Lechuza pon is a mix of four ingredients pumice, zeolites, lava rock and fertilizer. But before I put any of my beloved plants into some unknown substrate, you’d better believe that I did my research first. Since I’ve seen that done so much, I thought I’d give the Lechuza substrate (pon) a try. Many of the “plant people” that I interact with on social media use Lechuza planters with LECA pebbles as a substrate. (See photo below) The water gauge on a Lechuza planter. All of the Lechuza planters have a water gauge that shows clearly the amount of water that is available to the plant/plants. One big advantage that I am anticipating is being able to track the water levels in the reservoir.

For outdoor plants and flowers, the time between waterings will change drastically depending on temperature, amount of sun exposure, amount of wind exposure, rainfall etc. For houseplants it can extend the time between waterings from 2-12 days, according to the package instruction booklet. This allows for plant owners to take a bit more of a hands off approach to their plants indoors or outdoors. There is an inner planter that is elevated above the water reservoir so that the roots of your plants won’t sit in water. In case you aren’t familiar with Lechuza planters, they are planters that are designed with a reservoir for water at the bottom of the pot. I’ve just begun my journey into Lechuza planters and I decided that I may as well just do it all the way and use the Lechuza substrate (called “pon”) instead of my normal potting mix and see how things go….
