Growing in semi-hydro using PON is one of the most popular trends in the indoor plant world right now . Leafy™ PON-002 is a soil-free, mineral-based mix that works as either a drainage layer or a complete growing medium, perfect for semi-hydro setups.

Made from four premium mineral stones > Green Zeolite, Pumice, Red Volcanic Rock, and Diatomite, this hand-mixed substrate supports strong root growth, improves airflow, and helps prevent root rot. And because it contains no organic matter, it naturally helps reduce fungus gnats too.

⭐️ Our PON Mix contains no added fertilizer, giving you full control over what nutrients to provide and when.

⭐️ Each bag consists of 3 Liters of PON Mix.

⭐️ Checkout our bucket shovel soil scoop that simplifies the repotting process, ensuring precision and reducing soil spillage.

❗️Maximum 4 bags in a single order including Aroid mix. If you order more than 4 bags , extra postage will apply.   

❗️❗️Make sure to rinsing your PON mix thoroughly with water before you pot-up to remove dust particles.

Why choose  leafy™  PON-002 for Semi-Hydroponics?

⭐️ Optimal Air/Water Ratio: leafy™  PON-002 maintains the ideal air/water ratio for plant roots, with 45% water and 55% air. This reduces the risk of diseases and ensures that your plants receive the perfect balance of moisture and oxygen, crucial for thriving in semi-hydro conditions.

⭐️ Long-Lasting: This structurally stable plant substrate does not condense over time and retains its air permeable structure, making it a reliable choice for semi-hydro setups that require minimal maintenance. 

⭐️ Continuous Capillarity: leafy™   PON-002 provides continuous capillarity up to the planter's surface, ensuring that even undergrowth and small-rooted plants receive the right amount of water, a key feature for successful semi-hydroponic growth.

⭐️ pH Balance: The substance zeolite stabilizes the ideal pH balance for healthy plant growth, which is especially important in semi-hydroponic systems.

⭐️ Nutrient Distribution: leafy™  PON-002 ensures a balanced nutrient distribution in the root area of your planter, promoting consistent and compact root dispersion, a crucial factor in semi-hydro setups. 

⭐️ Buffering Effect: It acts as a buffer, absorbing excessive fertilizer and releasing it back to the plant when needed, a feature that simplifies nutrient management in semi-hydroponics.

⭐️ Odor Absorber:  leafy™ PON-002 serves as a natural odor absorber, making it an excellent choice for indoor plant enthusiasts using semi-hydroponic techniques.

⭐️Pest and Disease Prevention: The purely mineral composition prevents common plant pests and diseases, such as fungus gnats, ensuring a healthy and hassle-free semi-hydroponic experience.

leafy™ PON-002 Mineral Stone Mix

Growing in semi-hydro using PON is one of the most popular trends in the indoor plant world right now . Leafy™ PON-002 is a soil-free, mineral-based mix that works as either a drainage layer or a complete growing medium, perfect for semi-hydro setups.

The Simple Way to Use PON-002

Growing indoor plants in PON mix is a rising trend in plant care. Unlike soil, PON is clean, airy, and ideal for semi-hydro setups — keeping roots healthy, hydrated, and easy to monitor.

If you’re ready to move your plant from soil to semi-hydro, Leafy™ PON-002 makes the switch simple. Here’s a quick guide to get your plant settled into its new home.

1

Prepare the PON:

Thoroughly rinse your leafy™ PON-002 with water to eliminate dust and particles. Remember, our PON mix doesn't contain added fertilizers, so it's a fresh start.

2

Select an Outer Pot:

Choose a pot without drainage holes to serve as a water reservoir. This design promotes a semi-hydroponic system, allowing your plant to draw up water from the PON as needed.

3

Repotting:

If you're transitioning your plant to PON, remove existing soil gently, washing the roots thoroughly under running water to remove all soil. Center your plant in the inner pot and fill with leafy™ PON-002.

4

Watering:

Add a small amount of water in the outer pot to maintain slight submersion of the PON. Your plant will draw up the water through the PON.

5

Maintenance:

Regularly check the outer pot's water level to prevent it from going dry. Ensure only 1/4 of the inner pot remains submerged to prevent over-saturation of the PON.

Fertilization

Our PON mix is formulated without fertilizers, providing a clean and neutral base. We recommend adding suitable fertilizers during active growth seasons for your plants to thrive.

7

Transition Period:

During the plant's transition to our substrates, expect a brief adjustment phase where they probably sulk for a while and it may even loose leaves. This is a normal part of the adaptation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to rinse the PON mix before using it?

Yes, we recommend rinsing your Leafy™ PON-002 thoroughly with water before potting up. This helps remove fine dust particles created during shipping and ensures optimal air and water flow from the start.

Does this mix contain any nutrients or fertilizer?

No, Leafy™ PON-002 is a clean, inert substrate with no added fertilizers. This gives you full control over your feeding schedule. We recommend using a balanced liquid fertilizer to get the best results.

Which plants can I grow in PON-002?

leafy™ PON-002 is suitable for all plants, but it's particularly beneficial for those that thrive in an airy, free-draining mix, prefer lightly moist conditions, or are prone to root rot if overwatered. This includes plants like Hoyas, Alocasias , Philodendrons, Calathea, Maranta, Monstera, Dieffenbachia, Aglaonema and more.

Does Leafy™ PON-002 help get rid of fungus gnats?

Yes, it can! Fungus gnats usually lay their eggs in moist soil. Since PON-002 doesn’t have any soil or organic matter, the gnats have nowhere to live and grow. That means fewer pests bothering your plants!
