Bio Pon is a premium soil-alternative for potting plants and is used in semi-hydro set ups, like self watering pots. It is very similar to the well known Lechuza pon, without the added fertilizer, meaning you have more control over what you feed your plants and when. It is also a chunkier grade, which the plants I have tried it on seem to really love! The best part is Bio Pon is proudly New Zealand made.
 
Crafted from premium mineral stones, Pumice, Scoria and Red Zeolite, it ensures an even distribution of nutrients and significantly reduces the vulnerability of your plants to diseases and pests such as fungus gnats.
 
Bio Pon is structurally stable and maintains its air-permeable structure over time, preventing compaction and ensuring consistent aeration and drainage, all while acting as a natural buffer, absorbing excess fertlizier and releasing it as needed.
 
Why choose Bio Pon?
NZ Made
Optimal Air/Water Ratio: Promotes the ideal air/water ratio for healthy plant growth and root development. Reduces the risk of root-rot substantially when used correctly.
Anti-Fungal and Pest Control: Prevents fungus growth and pest infestations like fungus gnats, making it allergy-friendly.
Fertiliser-Free: You will need to fertilize your plants regularly like you would in any soil-free potting medium. Foliage Focus & Complete Focus by Growth Technology are an excellent option for semi-hydro growing. It is best practice to give your semi-hydro plants a fresh water flush once a month with no added fertilizer.
Odourless.
Re-useable: Bio Pon can be reused over and over again.
TIP - If you have had a plant that has had pests or a disease in the substrate you want to reuse, simply boil the pon for 10 mins, let it cool and dry completly, then you can reuse.
