PALMPON is a special organic-mineral plant substrate for palm trees and other Mediterranean plants that require an airy, well-drained root environment. The unique blend of Pumice, Black Lava, Zeolite, Pine bark, and a slow-release fertilizer creates a stable, tropical-like root environment that closely mimics the natural growing conditions of many palm species and Mediterranean plants, such as olive trees. The mineral components ensure excellent root aeration and reliable drainage, preventing waterlogging.

A distinctive feature of PALMPON is its Black Lava, which stores heat and helps maintain a consistently warm root environment. This supports root activity and promotes vigorous, healthy growth. At the same time, the dark lava gives the substrate an elegant, natural tropical appearance. Organic components such as Pine bark contribute to a loose substrate structure and balanced moisture management. The peat-free composition remains structurally stable over time, does not compact, and provides excellent support for plants of all sizes—especially tall-growing palms in large containers.

Since PALMPON is pre-fertilized for about 6 months, palms receive essential nutrients immediately after planting. The specially added potassium and iron support healthy leaf development as well as the formation of strong trunks and fronds.

PALMPON is suitable for indoor spaces, conservatories, patios, and balconies and is ideal for all common palm species. The substrate can be used in both conventional flower pots and LECHUZA planters with an irrigation system.

Note: For even better capillary action in LECHUZA planters, we recommend using LECHUZA-PON or BASICPON as the irrigation layer.
