About

The perfect duo for successful hydroponic growing

Do you dream of plants without soil, without gnats, without complications? This kit brings together everything you need to get started in hydroponics with peace of mind.

Pon, a free-draining mineral substrate, provides your roots with a stable and aerated environment. The specially formulated liquid fertilizer supplies essential nutrients that this inert medium does not naturally provide. Together, they form a balanced system where your plants thrive without the drawbacks of organic substrates.

Why choose this duo?

  • Zero midges: The mineral substrate does not promote the development of soil pests.
  • Simplified watering: Optimal drainage prevents overwatering and root rot.
  • Complete nutrition: The fertilizer compensates for the lack of organic matter with all the necessary elements.
  • Reusable: Unlike conventional substrates, Pon can be washed and reused indefinitely.

Ideal for beginners as well as enthusiasts who want to try hydroponics without a complex investment.

Give your plants a fresh start, cleaner and simpler.

Everything you need to know Duo-Pon hydroponic mineral substrate for plants + Liquid fertilizer - Hydroponic plant cultivation

What is the Pon substrate in this kit made of?

Pon is a mixture of natural minerals: zeolite, pumice stone and volcanic lava.

These materials are chosen for their complementary properties: zeolite retains nutrients and regulates humidity, pumice stone ensures lightness and aeration, lava provides structure and stability.

Unlike organic substrates, Pon does not decompose or compact over time. Rinse it between uses to remove mineral deposits.

Warning: as this substrate is inert, the fertilizer included in this duo is essential to feed your plants.

How to use this duo to convert a plant to hydroponics?

Start by gently removing your plant from its current pot and carefully rinse its roots with lukewarm water to remove any residue of organic substrate.

This step is crucial because soil remnants can rot in the hydroponic system and contaminate the water. Inspect the roots and trim any that appear damaged.

Place the Pon in a suitable container, plant it, and water with diluted fertilizer. During the first few weeks, monitor the plant's adaptation: a few yellowing leaves are normal during this transition.

Avoid converting a plant that is already weakened; it would not tolerate this change well.

Which plants are best suited to cultivation in Pon?

Plants with robust and adaptable roots thrive particularly well: Pothos, Philodendron, Monstera, Syngonium and most aroids.

These species naturally tolerate humid environments and readily develop aquatic roots. Succulents and cacti also thrive, but require more rigorous moisture management.

Allow a 2- to 4-week acclimation period during which the plant develops new roots adapted to this environment. Maintain adequate light to support this transition.

Plants with very fine roots, such as Calatheas, may have more difficulty adapting.

My plant has been losing leaves since switching to Pon, what should I do?

Leaf loss in the first few weeks is common and generally normal: the plant sacrifices foliage to concentrate its energy on developing new, adapted roots.

This transition stress is comparable to moving house. However, check that the roots are not completely submerged; only the lower part should be immersed.

Also, make sure you're using the correct fertilizer dosage: too concentrated, it will burn the roots; too diluted, the plant will lack nutrients. Wait 3-4 weeks before worrying.

If the deterioration continues beyond this point, check for root rot by smelling the water.

Can I use this fertilizer with substrates other than Pon?

This fertilizer is formulated for inert growing media where the plant is entirely dependent on liquid fertilization. You can use it with other mineral substrates such as pure perlite, clay pebbles, or seramis.

On the other hand, combining it with an organic substrate such as ourenriched potting soilsThis risks creating over-fertilization. These substrates already contain nutrients and microorganisms that naturally nourish plants.

If you wish to fertilize your plants in the ground, ouruniversal fertilizerwill be more suitable for this use.

What are the advantages compared to a traditional soil substrate?

Pon eliminates several constraints of organic substrates: no midges or larvae developing in decomposing matter, no risk of compaction suffocating the roots, no annual repotting required.

The perfect drainage makes watering more forgiving of mistakes. The clean and modern aesthetic is also very appealing.

In return, you become entirely dependent on fertilizer to feed your plants, whereas a good substrate like oursMonstera potting soilprovides nutrients and beneficial microbial life.

The choice depends on your priorities: ease of maintenance or a natural ecosystem.

The essentials regarding Duo-Pon hydroponic mineral substrate for plants + Liquid fertilizer - Hydroponic plant cultivation

What is the Duo Pon and Liquid Plant Fertilizer?

THEDuo Pon and Liquid FertilizerThis is a complete system designed to start or optimize the hydroponic cultivation of your houseplants with a single order. Pon is an inorganic mineral substrate composed of porous volcanic rock and zeolite, 100% sterile and inert, which completely replaces an organic substrate. The liquid fertilizer included in this duo covers all the nutritional needs of your plants in hydroponic cultivation, whereas Pon itself provides no nutrients.

Composition and effectiveness of the Duo Pon and Liquid Fertilizer

THEMineral substrateIt ensures near-instant drainage and continuous root aeration, definitively eliminating the risk of root asphyxiation. The liquid fertilizer included in the duo, diluted at a rate of a few milliliters per liter of water, provides a complete nutrient balance for growth and flowering when dissolved directly in the irrigation water. Together, these two products form a turnkey hydroponic growing system, ready to use upon receipt without any additional purchases.

Which plants benefit most from the Duo Pon and Fertilizer?

  • Hoya and Pothos in hydroponic transition:gentle transition to the pure mineral environment
  • Monstera and large Araceae:inert substrate for large aerial roots
  • Orchids in semi-hydroponics:Aerated pony with suitable liquid nutrition
  • Plants that require spaced watering:substrate without risk of overwatering with targeted nutrition
  • Beginners in hydroponics:A complete duo to get started without hesitation

Duo Pon Fertilizer or Pon alone: ​​which option to choose for hydroponic cultivation?

Pon alone is an excellent substrate but contains no nutrients: without dissolved fertilizer, plants quickly become leggy and lose vigor. The Pon and Liquid Fertilizer Duo guarantees optimal nutrition and a high-performing substrate from the start, both essential and complementary for successful indoor hydroponic cultivation. This duo format simplifies purchasing and saves money compared to buying the two products separately.
