Homemade potting mix Hydro-Rock (Pumice)
Hydro-Rock mix (Pon) is a mineral substrate designed for crops requiring precise moisture control and constant root aeration. Composed of medium pumice stone, zeolite, red volcanic rock, kyriu, and horticultural charcoal, it offers a stable and draining structure suitable for root systems sensitive to excess water.
Each component plays a specific role: pumice and volcanic rock ensure drainage and aeration, zeolite regulates ionic exchange and water retention, while kyriu provides lasting mineral stability. Horticultural charcoal completes the blend by contributing to a healthy root environment.
Recommended Use
- Semi-hydroponic cultivation or pure mineral substrate
- Repotting plants sensitive to excess moisture
- Use in pots with water reservoirs or enhanced drainage
- Suitable for systems requiring precise watering management
Applications
- Indoor plants grown in semi-hydroponics
- Orchids and epiphytic plants adapted to this type of cultivation
- Aroids in mineral culture
- Bonsais in alternative cultivation
- Plants requiring a very draining and stable substrate
Features and Benefits
Mineral structure promoting rapid water evacuation.
Stable granulometry allowing continuous oxygenation of the roots.
Zeolite absorbs and redistributes water and some mineral elements.
Durable materials that do not degrade quickly over time.
Horticultural charcoal limits imbalances and contaminants.
Ideal for systems requiring precision and control of water input.
