WHAT IS MINERAL PON?

The Soil Alternative: A 100% soilless, premium mineral substrate made from Pumice, Zeolite, Diatomite, and Lava Rock.

Perfect Balance: It creates an optimal environment of 45% water retention and 55% air porosity around the root zone.

No Pests: Because it contains zero organic matter, it naturally prevents common soil pests like fungus gnats.

Never Reused: Structurally stable minerals do not break down or compact, meaning it can be reused indefinitely.

HOW TO TRANSITION YOUR PLANTS

Clean the Roots: Remove the plant from its soil pot and gently wash or rinse away as much organic soil from the root ball as possible.

Pot It Up: Add a base layer of PON, position your plant, and fill in the gaps around the roots up to the stem base.

The Shower Phase: Top water thoroughly for the first 2 to 4 weeks like a traditional houseplant until a strong "water root" system establishes.

Fill Reservoir: Once acclimated, you can begin utilizing a self watering reservoir setup safely without risking root rot.

WATERING & WICK GUIDE

Wick Capillary Action: The fabric wick draws moisture upward, allowing the PON to evenly distribute water.

Constant Moisture: Keeps the root zone perfectly damp without letting the roots drown in standing water.

Reservoir Care: Fill the bottom reservoir to its fill line, making sure the PON itself isn't submerged.

The Dry Out: Let the reservoir go empty for 2–3 days before refilling to let the roots breathe.

SIZE & STORAGE

Volume: Sold in 4L resealable bags (Dimensions: 200mm x 300mm x 80mm).

Inorganic Storage: Because this mix contains zero organic matter, it will never rot, mold, or expire. Store it anywhere dry.

Dust Control: The minerals are naturally dry and dusty. Keep the bag sealed tightly when not in use to contain fine particles.

Prep Work: Always rinse the mix thoroughly in a colander or mesh strainer before use to flush out any transit dust.

Made with a premium blend of raw mineral substrates, our Premium PON Mix is engineered to provide exceptional drainage, vital aeration, and long term structural stability.

Combined with Pumice, Zeolite, Diatomite, and Lava Rock, it creates the ultimate root environment. This 100% soilless medium perfectly facilitates capillary action, making it ideal for wick fed self watering pots and semi hydroponic systems. It prevents overwatering, resists pests, and protects sensitive indoor tropicals like Alocasias against root rot.


⚠️ Important: Please rinse the substrate thoroughly before use to wash away any fine dust generated during manufacture and packaging

Please note: This mix is completely free of added fertilizers to give you total control over your feeding schedule. We recommend incorporating a high quality liquid nutrient feed into your water reservoir.
