Description: IMPORTED FROM GERMANY PLEASE READ THIS LISTING IN FULL TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTMENT November 12, 2024 - We are taking advantage of a seasonal shipping promotion to ship out the 6 Liter Factory Bags which has brought the cost down significantly. This product barely fits into largest box we can use to take advantage of this special rate. If you are interested in this product, we strongly suggest you order ASAP, as soon as this seasonal shipping promotion expires, we will have to increase the cost per bag by over $20 to cover the regular shipping price. Price goes up January 5, 2025. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY PRODUCT! THIS ITEM IS NOT RETURNABLE OR REFUNDABLE - We always try to offer everything we sell at a reasonable price, but due to the weight of this product and our location in South Florida, we cannot compete with sellers who are closer to the US distributor. The only reason why we continue to sell this product is because its absolutely awesome and we have to buy it to use at the nursery. The distributor is more than half way across the country from us, by the time our pallets arrive in South Florida, the cost has more than doubled, in some cases tripled depending on time of the year. After we pay for the shipping needed to get this product to you and have paid eBay their cut of the sale, we are lucky if we see a 5-6% return. Once again, please do your due diligence to see if you can find this product closer to home which should bring the cost down significantly. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE WHEN ORDERING!!! We saw the price for this Pon and thought, wow, its cheaper than regular Lechuza, let's buy a whole bunch of pallets!!! Joke was on us! The largest size bag the factory makes for Cactus Pon is 6L while all the other bags are 12L. Due to the significant weight of shipping this product, we can only ship this product using flat rates, or we would have to charge even more (yuck!). THE FACTORY SEALED BAG IS ONLY 6 LITERS, MAKING THIS THE SECOND MOST EXPENSIVE PON MANUFACTURED BY LECHUZA WHEN BROKEN DOWN BY WEIGHT. They say this mix is superior to their other pon mixes, but we have not had the opportunity to experiment with it to verify this claim. PLEASE NOTE, ALL SIZES EXCEPT THE 6 LITER OPTION ARE REPACKAGED TO MEET YOUR NEEDS FROM OUR 6 LITER FACTORY BAGS, AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE RECEIVED IN LECHUZA BRANDED PACKAGING. IF YOU NEED THE LECHUZA PACKAGING YOU HAVE TO ORDER A 6 LITER FACTORY BAG. 100% Authentic Lechuza Pon with no fillers or additives. Ingredients: pumice, Lava Rock, Fine Grain Zeolite and Vegetable Carbon How is it different from Regular Lechuza Pon? - It seems to be a bit more "Gritty" or "Sandy" It has all the same properties as regular Lechuza pon with the largest particle size being 100% comparable to regular lechuza, but the zeolite seems to be a much finer particle size making the pon look a bit more sandy or gritty. When we compared to regular Lechuza Pon, it does appear that there are more fine Lave Rock particles too, but this is not advertised on the bag and only an observation on our part. The product also has carbon (Charcoal). Carbon has been classified as an essential additive for soils for centuries! We are honestly not sure if we will continue to carry this product in the future, it is so much more expensive than the other Pon products offered by Lechuza we did honestly choke when it arrived and we realized the factory bags were half the size of their other blends. At this time we will only consider reordering this form again if everyone absolutely loves it and asks us to. This mineral based plant substrate offers excellent drainage properties which ensures optimal root aeration and allows your plant to flourish. The substrate provides a stable pH value and the absorbent properties of the mix allow it to act as a reservoir to store water and nutrients, releasing them back to the plants as needed. Lechuza Pon does not compact or clump and its mineral base deters fungi and a large number of soil born pests such as fungus gnats. Pon is ideal for allergy sufferers. Please be aware Lechuza Pon is also enriched to feed your plants for 6 months, after which you will need to start applying fertilizer to feed your plants. Our analysis of the feed used determined the feeding is very light, if you are growing greedy plants or fast growers, you will probably want to consider applying additional fertilizer. Lechuza advises in their marketing it is impossible to overwater when you use their product and water logging will never be an issue. This most certainly is true, but if you are growing in decorative containers that do not allow water to drain when you need it to drain, it doesn't matter what you are growing in, standing water is standing water! Please also note if you are using this Pon for very heavy feeders, it is strongly recommended you supplement from an early stage with additional fertilizer. If you are using it for low nutritional need plants, you should not need to worry about feeding for at least 5-6 months. We asked our followers what sizes they needed most so we could cater to your needs and these were the most popular quantities requested: 1/2 Quart (2 Cups)1 Quart (4 Cups)1 Gallon (16 Cups)12 Liters - (3.17 Gallons) - FACTORY BAG (Weighs +/- 25lbs) Some Key Information:1/2 Quart is enough for ONE AND A HALF 4 Inch pots. This was the 2nd most popular request and we are not going to lie, we are a bit puzzled as to why! :)1 Quart is enough for ONE 6 Inch pot or, THREE 4 Inch pots.1 Gallon is enough for FOUR 6 Inch pots, or TWELVE 4 Inch pots.******* Calculations are based on industry recognized "AZALEA" sized nursery pots to their recommended fill line PLEASE NOTE, ALL SIZES EXCEPT THE 12 LITER OPTION ARE REPACKAGED AND WILL WILL NOT BE RECEIVED IN LECHUZA BRANDED PACKAGING THIS PRODUCT IS BASICALLY ROCK, IT IS HEAVY TO SHIP FROM THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE:Your prickly roommates will feel completely at ease! Cacti and succulents originate from arid regions and require a substrate with the increased drainage effect to prevent the formation of water reservoirs. Pure mineral plant substrate CACTUSPON has an ability to let water run off. Enriched with fine pumice, lava and zeolite, the special substrate ensures optimal development of cacti and succulents. Due to the particularly fine-grained substance, waterlogging can be avoided and the roots are optimally aerated. For the love of nature, CACTUSPON is peat-free. CACTUSPON is particularly stable in volume and offers the plants a firm stand in the planter, which is necessary for tall growing cacti. Since it is not pre-fertilized, it can be used for all species of cacti and succulents - from large and spiny like Trichocereus to small and flowering like Echinopsis.Components: pumice, lava and zeolite fine grained, vegetable carbon
