The substrate provides a stable pH value and the absorbent properties of the mix allow it to act as a reservoir to store water and nutrients, releasing them back to the plants as needed. Lechuza Pon does not compact or clump and its mineral base deters fungi and a large number of soil born pests such as fungus gnats. Pon is ideal for allergy sufferers. Please be aware Lechuza Pon is also enriched to feed your plants for 6 months, after which you will need to start applying fertilizer to feed your plants. Our analysis of the feed used determined the feeding is very light, if you are growing greedy plants or fast growers, you will probably want to consider applying additional fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLechuza advises in their marketing it is impossible to overwater when you use their product and water logging will never be an issue. This most certainly is true, but if you are growing in decorative containers that do not allow water to drain when you need it to drain, it doesn't matter what you are growing in, standing water is standing water!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes from the manufacturer:\u2028\u2028\u003cbr\u003eDecorative elegance combined with unique functionality: BLACKSTONEPON puts traditional potting soil in the shade. The pure mineral plant substrate with natural charcoal and black lava features an exceptional dark color. It is the ideal alternative to conventional potting soil, as it is structurally stable, supports root aeration and optimally dosed water supply. Thus, it is in no way inferior to the conventional plant substrates of LECHUZA: pumice, lava and zeolite ensure high drainage ability and water storage and can thus reliably supply plants with a sufficient amount of water. The contained charcoal stimulates root growth. Since BLACKSTONEPON is pre-fertilized, plants are supplied with nutrients for 6-8 months. For the love of nature, the substrate is peat-free. It can be used for all indoor plants both for complete planting or as a decorative layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: pumice, lava and black lava, zeolite, vegetable carbon, slow-release fertilizer (specific for indoor plants)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*************************************************************************************\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT — MIAMI FL PICKUP ONLY — READ BEFORE ORDERING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis option is for LOCAL PICKUP in Miami, Florida ONLY.
