In addition, it reduces the outflow of water and the minerals it contains - thus increasing the absorption of valuable micro and macro elements by the plant. A light pumice stone reduces the density of a substrate that is too heavy. Pumiceand it absorbs excess moisture, and also improves their aeration, preventing the development of fungal diseases. The high-quality blend of mineral aggregates and fertilizer contains zeolite, pumice, red lava and a long-acting, coated fertilizer. The porous structure of the lava absorbs water and nutrients and slowly releases them, constantly irrigating the roots. The secret of the LECHUZA-PON substrate is a specially selected composition. Red lava provides the plant with constant access to iron, which is essential in the production of enzymes and chlorophyll. Thanks to him, the roots grow very quickly. Even after time, this stable plant substrate does not condense, and it keeps its air permeable structure throughout the plants life cycle meaning it can be used. Zeolite is a kind of filter that cleans from impurities, at the same time it very effectively absorbs moisture, stabilizes the pH of the substrate and aerates it properly. The purely mineral plant substrate provide excellent air/water ratio and prevents fungus and avoid dark-winged fungus gnats from soil. All Lechuza pots include a small bag of Lechuza-Pon, an alternative soil substrate filled with nutrients that is used to line the bottom of the planter. It is the ideal alternative to conventional potting soil.
