How to Use
For Conventional Planters: Fill your container with PALMPON, position your palm or Mediterranean plant, and gently fill around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting, allowing excess water to drain away. Continue watering according to your plant's needs.
For LECHUZA Self-Watering Planters: Use LECHUZA-PON as the drainage layer to support optimal water movement from the reservoir. Fill the remaining planting area with PALMPON. Water from above during establishment before transitioning to the planter's self-watering system.
