I wish they were more affordable. I have over 400 plants and over 60 6 inch and 8 inch pots of Calathea, ctenanthe, maranta and stromanthe. I would go broke just putting them in these planters but they are the ones I would love to have them in. I have a few 3 gallon pots. They are really out for me. Love the white. I guess I'm stuck watering every 4-5 days on these.
Dear Cynthia,
Your plant collection sounds impressive. 👍
I am sure these guys keep you very busy 😀🌱
You can make your own pon! Then transition slowly.
@@Moi_81 They meant the planters, not the pon itself.
usually you mention we should wait at least 3-4months before using the self watering option with these planters.... but in this video for this planter you started immediately... is it because it is a smaller container? thanks for you videos they are amazing!
Hi!! Deltini planter is different when it comes to using the self-watering feature.
Yes, smaller + a plant is potted in subtract only..🌱
I wish Lechuza would make a small classico pot (similar size to this pot. I say this because I have a cuple of smaller plants that I want to hang. I like the classico style for hanging plants. If you talk to them, let them know the need for this! Also, more colors too!
Thanks for the video. When the dry out time is done. Do we add water from the top to saturate the media or do we add the water directly in the reservoir.
Plants potted in the Deltini model planter need to be watered through the subtract always. There is no separate opening for the reservoir like other planter models have.
Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi Juliette,
I have a cutting that rooted in a glass of water and I planted it in the Deltini mini with the Lechuza Pon only. Should I water from above to fill the tank to the max and wait 7-10 days before watering again or should I water the entire substrate without filling the tank and wait 7-10 days? Thank you for your reply :)
Thank you for all your so instructive video !!!
Hi!
Thank you for watching!
For plants that are potted Deltini mini and in PON only:
- water the plant trough the top
- put water until the water level indicator (red stick inside the plastic tube) rises to the MAX mark
- when the water level indicator drops to MIN mark, wait for 3-5 days and water the plant.
Green Cheers & May your plant grow happy and healthy!
@@Mycityplants Ok thank you so much :)
Thanks for the video Juliet. I am wondering why here you have used substrate as the surround for the plant, but in other videos you have used potting mix. This is for a 70cm tall peace lily in a 2-3litre pot which will be going into a Cube 30. Thanks in advance!
Hi Jemzor!
Plants can be potted in PON substrate.
I prefer to use PON instead of a potting mix for smaller plants because the PON is heavy and, if used in larger pots, moving large plants around becomes challenging :)
You may place your Peace Lily, keeping all the original soil around its roots, in a new pot and add PON to fill up the empty space around the plant.
Keeping the soil will make it easy to test the moisture levels to know when your plant is ready to be watered.
May your plant grow happy and healthy!
Thank you for watching 🌱
hi! i love your video and your attitude! :) but don't you have to wait at least 3 months for the roots to adapt to the new substrate before using the indicator? please answer me , i just bought deltini and i' m not sure if i'm going to use instantly the indicator or wait 3- 4 months, thank you!!!
Hi Ale,
If the roots of your plant are big enough and reach (or almost reach) the bottom of the planter, you may start using the self-watering feature.
If you are potting a baby plant and its roots are short, yes, wait for 12 weeks before using the reservoir.
Green Luck! 🌱
@@Mycityplants thank you so much!
@@Mycityplants I just bought this planter and the roots to my philodendron are still short in length. I know you said to wait 12 weeks to use the self watering, but do I water the plant with the pon as if it were regular soil? Or do I put regular soil back and wait till the roots are long enought then use the pon? I removed the soil and just planted it with the pon. 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you!
Hi!
Thank you for watching 🌱
Yes, water through the Pon just like you would if the plant was potted in the soil.
Make sure to pour water slowly to saturate the subtract well. You need approx. 8oz of water for each watering.
“Dry phase” between watering for Philodendron plant approx. 7-10 days.
*** When these guys are thirsty, they get droopy :))
Green Luck! 🌱
@@Mycityplants thank you so much for taking the time to help me! Have a great weekend 😊
Здравствуйте, Юлия, подскажите, пожалуйста, какой период засушливости период у антуриума? Пересадили его в лечузу, но пока тревожно за него. Корешки так себе. Не могу понять, как поливать его в лечузе. Читала, что он любит обильный полив, особенно, если воздух сухой, а донный полив не любит. Я ему купила горшок с автополивом, и пустила фитиль, т.е. сделала нижний полив. Но все же скажу, что я пока недостаточно располагаю сведениями об этом грунте, и как с ним ухаживатьза цветами. Мне кажется, как только грунт высох, тут же надо полить, как в обычной земле. Не могу настроиться на иной уход, хотя решила все растения пересадить в лечузу).
Hi, thanks for the video(s). Ik was searching how the different types of lechuza planters work. These video`s clarify more than the lechuza site itself and I alsof learned something about plants. So thumbs up for the excellent video.
This is great! Thank you for watching 🌱
For the cubi-maxi: do we start immediately using the water reservoir? and water over the substrate?
The cubi planter has the same wick watering system as Deltini and the self-watering feature can be used right away. Water the plant through the subtract.🌱
Love watching your videos! Thank you!
Do you sell just the substract/potting mix? Does it prevent fungus gnats?
Enjoy your 4th of July!
Gerry
😎
Hi! We do not sell it at the moment.
Hopefully soon once all shipments from Europe will stabilize 🌱
@@Mycityplants Thank you for letting me know. Doug from Vermont Hoyas used it to pot up a couple of Hoyas.
Does the substrate reduce Fungus Gnats?
Enjoy!
😎
Yes, the subtract is a better than soil - much better air circulation.
Important to know that gnats can survive and breed only in constantly moist soil.
If you have these unwanted guests, adjust the watering frequency and/or water amount per watering.
Make sure the soil is dry before plant gets a drink 👍🌱
@@Mycityplants Thanks. I have cut back on my watering, amount and frequency. I use a moisture meter, which has really helped.
I live by my community pond and the Fungus Gnats are terrible this year. I haven't had a problem with them in my plants.
I have been watering with water infused with Mosquito Bits. I spray the top of the soil with Neem oil, peppermint soap and water. Last, I use the yellow sticky traps.
Enjoy,
😎
Oh, my .. You are pretty busy :)) Just use traps and make sure the soil is very dry at least 3-4 “ deep before watering plants.
Also, bottom feeding method (poring water in the saucer or reservoir instead of watering through the topsoil) is great to help eliminate gnat issue 🌱
I'm confused I thought you're supposed to add soil above the sabstrate
HI,
Lechuza planters sub-irrigation system requires the PON to be at the bottom of the liner before a plant gets potted in it.
Any plant can be potted using PON only.
You may learn more about the PON and how to assembly, water, etc here:
www.lechuza.us/home/
Green Cheers! 🌱
Can I use this with my monstera cutting that ot ready to transfer in the pot? Can monstera aurea survive with only the substrate withput soil? Thank you.
Hi! Yes!
Thank you for watching 🌱
But is it also ok to use soil instead of the pon in that planter?
You have to add pon at the bottom for sure!!!
Since there is no reservoir opening in Deltini model planter, best to have a plant potted in pon.
Soil will get to saturated while you poring water through it to fill up the reservoir.
I’ve watched other videos where they wash all the soil off the roots first before potting in pon, but you potted with soil on, I’m confused at what is best for my plants before I pot on in pon...?
Hello,
Thank you for watching 🌱
Either way works.
I prefer to keep some soil around the roots as this allows me to test the moisture levels with my favorite tool - soil moisture meter before watering. I guess I like to be more in control :)
When a plant is potted in Pon and all the soil is completely removed, you just need to fill up the reservoir, wait for a plant to drink it all.
Then, when the reservoir is empty, do not refill it right away. Pon holds moisture and that is why some extra time (dry phase) is needed before watering a plant again.
Hello! How does it work with fertilizer? Do I have to put it in the water? Or?
Hi! Yes, you add a fertilizer to water.
The fertilizer (plant food) we use and sell can be used all year around. It is all natural, no chemicals formula that, even when used with every watering, will not burn roots.

Green Luck and thank you for watching! 🌱
Lechuza pon is pre fertilized
Hi Ness,
Yes. You do not need to feed plants for at least 1 year.
Thank you for watching 🌱
Do these require any energy
Nope
Hi! I have been potting and keeping all my plants in nursery pots. If they need to be repotted I just repot in a larger nursery pot and then put that in a decorative pot. Is this ok to do? Does it depend on the plant? I do it for succulents to more “water needed” plants
Hi Andrea,
If this works for your plants and they are happy - 👍
Since you are placing plants inside a cachepot without drainage, make sure they do not sit in water after watering.
Thank you for watching 🌱
Would a lucky bamboo plant do good in a pot like this?
Hi Dominic,
It’s a good question. I think the bamboo will be happy growing in this pot potted in Pon subtract. Deltini planter comes with enough Pon to pot the plant in. You do not need to buy any extra. Here is the link to where you can buy this planter mycityplants.com/collections/desk-planters/products/lechuza-deltini-self-watering-planter-white

@@Mycityplants thanks i have it in water i find it easier to take care of just buy given it fresh filtered water
Yes! 🌱
@@Mycityplants Hey so i planted my Dracaena sanderiana in the lechuza pon and the roots are actually starting to grow through the holes at the bottom not only that the stock is not turning yellow like it was when it was in soil even though i was using filtered water i think i might have been over watering it i don't know it's doing good
Hi, i saw one of your video, and you mentioned that on the first weeks of using pon, we have to water the plant as we normally do. Does it mean that we dont need to fill up to max level? Or how? And im using a classico, how will it work on the first few weeks of watering? Thanks 🌱💚
Hi! For the first 12 weeks just water through the top. On average - once every 7 days (succulents/snake/cacti - 14 days).
Use approx. 16oz of water for Classico 21 planter.
After 12 weeks, pour water directly to the reservoir to Max mark.
After red stick is bak to Min, wait for 5-7 days (succulents/snake/cacti - wait for 10-14 days) and then refill the reservoir. 🌱🌱🌱
@@Mycityplants thank you so much! Very helpful 🌱💚
What's the dry phase for monstera variegated? And monstera adansonii variegated?
Hi!
It is best to water Monstera plants when the soil is dry 3/4 way down.
For 6" plants dry phase approx. 7 days, for 10" plants approx. 2 weeks.
How fast the soil dries out mostly depends on the light and indoor temperature.
Bright light + warm temperature = soil dries out faster.
I strongly recommend getting the Soil Moisture Meter.
This tool will help you to understand when your plant is ready for a drink to avoid over or under watering.
If you are in the US, the meter can be purchased here: bit.ly/2yuXVpc
We ship tools, potting mix, and planers nationwide.
Green Luck, and Thank you for watching! 🌱
Can I use the soil substitute for all types of plants? And is it possible to reuse?
Hi! Yes, PON can be used for all plant types.
You can reuse it - just make sure to wash it well before.
Thank you for watching 🌱
@@Mycityplants :)
I got my Deltini yesterday and the substrate was very dry overnight, I have filled the reservoir today even though the roots are not long enough. I am in Pon only, no soil - Is this right?
Hi Simon,
PON only is good.
Plants potted in PON in Deltini planter have different watering routine.
You need to pour water through the top (through the PON) and watch the red stick inside the plastic tube (water level indicator) until the red stick is a the Max mark.
While water is running through the PON, PON absorbs the water + it pulls the water from the reservoir when needed.
After the red stick is back down to Min mark, wait for 5 or so days (foliage plants) or 10 or so days (succulents/cacti), then water your plant.
May your plants grow happy and healthy!
Thank you for watching 🌱
@@Mycityplants Thanks for the information, I did fill the reservoir and left it overnight. The substrate still felt very dry. Should the water rise to the surface or just the top of the wick?
Where do you get the Lechuza Pon?
Hi!
We sell Pon in our online shop mycityplants.com/collections/potting-mix/products/lechuza-pon
*** It will be back in stock later this week.
I would recommend signing up for email notifications on the product page as these sell out fast!
Thank you for watching! 🌱
@@Mycityplants Please let me know when it comes in. Thanks
Please subscribe to the email notification on the product page and we will notify you right away! 🌱
i was thinking of potting a gardenia plant with the Lechuza planter and using Pon substrate is it ok?
How do i fertilize because Gardenias need Acidic environment
Hi! Thank you for watching!
Lechuza + PON works for all type of plants.
Use Water soluble fertilizers and Follow the ratio instructions of the fertilizer of your choice. Add fertilizer directly to the reservoir when filling it up with water.
May your plants grow happy and healthy!
Just saw this video. Wouldn’t the soil keeping the plant moist start root rot? I thought it’s best to remove the soil since it’s going to stay moist. Thanks in advance.
Hi Rickie,
Since the "dry phase" is required between refilling the reservoir (for plants potted in Pon or soil) the rot issue should not be a problem, as long as enough time is provided between waterings/reservoir refills. Thank you for watching 🌱
oh no, i removed all old soil on mine, will my plant be ok with just the pon substrate?
Hi! Yes. Plant can be potted in the subtract only! Green luck! Thank you for watching! 🌱
My questioned night sounds a bud dumb. This is the first time I hear about these pots. Do they all come with the pon? Or do I buys separate and are they suitable for all plants 🌱?
Hi! Yes. Pon comes with all pots 🌱
Thank you for watching 🌱
Felicidades gracias todo muy bello. Su pata de Elefante atrás muy bella 🇲🇽👌👍👏👏👏👏🇲🇽
I have quite a few of these pots but why does my soil seem to be so wet? Not moist. I am scared of my roots rotting because of that. Please... some advise would be helpful.
Hi Robin,
Make sure to allow the soil to dry between watering (before refilling the reservoir).
*** Here is the video about how to water plants in Lechuza pots: bit.ly/3bWSmRs
Soil dries slower in a lower light areas and in cooler temperatures. Also, if the pot is too big for the size of the plant you have, the soil will not dry as fast as needed.
Watch this video to see how to aerate the soil to help it to dry out faster: bit.ly/3qtI1T6
Green Luck! Thank you for watching 🌱
Can you use substrate for larger plants?
Hi Juanita,
Yes you can.
Keep in mind that plants potted in PON are heavier and might be harder to handle and move around. Thank you for watching 🌱
Looks expensive
Yeap, makes your plant look like a million bucks 👍🌱😀
@@Mycityplants it gives the plants an elegant, sophisticated look!!!
