DIY pon ingredients: Mix 4 parts pumice, 2 parts lava rock, and 1 part zeolite. To fertilize use either a liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer balls like Osmocote. Pon has an air to water ratio of 45% air to 55% water. This ratio is supposed to reduce susceptibility to disease. Sometimes you will hear pon referred to as LECHUZA-PON this is just a brand name. You can use pon like soil or in a semi-hydro set up with a water reservoir. I personally prefer a semi-hydro set up with pon. A dry phase is also encouraged with pon. A dry phase can be for 2-10 days. The length of dry phase will vary based on environment, individual plant, temperature, and humidity. For additional questions click here to be taken to the LECHUZA-PON FAQ page. There are also multiple YouTube videos you can find of people making their own pon.
