Lechuza Citruspon

Bring Mediterranean flair into your home and provide your citrus plants with a reliable nutrient medium! The nutrient-rich special substrate CITRUSPON offers your citrus plants optimal root aeration, as it has a high drainage ability. This means that waterlogging has no chance! The special substrate is enriched with red lava for extra heat storage. While the contained slow-release fertiliser provides the plants with nutrients for 6-8 months, the contained iron and calcium guarantee rich harvests and green leaves. For the sake of nature, the substrate is peat-free. Lemons, oranges, kumquats and other Mediterranean plants are well cared for with CITRUSPON to grow and thrive.

Ingredients: pumice, lava, red lava, zeolite, pine bark, slow-release fertiliser (specific for citrus plants)

Note: Also suitable for use with edible plants. For the highest quality of capillarity action in LECHUZA planters, we recommend using LECHUZA-PON as a drainage layer.

Planting instructions

Step 1:

Add the LECHUZA-PON plant substrate (included with the pots) as a drainage layer on the separating base in the pot. This is important so the water can be transported from the reservoir to the plant.
Then pour a thin layer of the desired substrate into the container. Just enough to give your plant the right height in the container.

Step 2:

Place the plant in your planter. The roots do not need to be completely removed from the soil.

Step 3:

Fill the container completely with the substrate of your choice, e.g. using the PON shovel.

Step 4:

For the first 12 weeks, water your plant as usual from above, directly onto the substrate. Only water as much as the plant can absorb. Make sure that there is as little water as possible in the reservoir.
