  • I've known about #pon for over a year, but I've never given it a shot until now.
    From everything I've researched, it appears to be an even better #houseplant #potting #medium than #soil or #leca.
    So how's about we give it a shot and see if it benefits my #plants?

    Hi, I have read this does not keep the pest away only the gnats. Rinsing in the sink also can clogged. I am just starting my Pon journey. All the best.

    How frequently do you water the plants before start using the tray of the self watering pot?

    • @PlantswithKevin
      @PlantswithKevin  16 днів тому

      It's best to water your plants thoroughly before starting with the self-watering pot, usually every 1-2 weeks depending on the plant's needs and environmental conditions.

    When you wash pon, are you washing fertilizer away?

  • @lisaplanty
    @lisaplanty Рік тому +1

    Thanks as always Kevin for the video. I’ve been looking up how much pon in Canada it’s quite expensive but I guess if I just changed a couple of my plants like my Al acacia it wouldn’t be too bad. What about fertilizing do they get nutrients from pon or do you have to fertilize Are you going to do another video once you add the bottom to the self watering pots just to explain further how are you? Take care of them thanks again.🇨🇦

    • @PlantswithKevin
      @PlantswithKevin  Рік тому +1

    I'll never replace soil. It's what Nature provides so to me, that's the best. The only time I don't use it is when I grow house plants in my aquariums.

      What we do is we do not remove the soil we take the whole root ball with the soil and put it in the pon so that there’s pon on the bottom of the container and then surrounding the root ball and the plants are perfect. No yellow leaves and they stay wet for at least two months, we use a probe to check the moisture in the root ball

    Lechuza is really good to some plants but if plants become really big i prefer soil above leca or pon.
