# Hello everyone ! I was just wondering if any of you have had success…

Hello everyone ! I was just wondering if any of you have had success with pon \& self watering pots? I’ve moved pretty much all my Alocasia to pon \& they don’t seem to be doing well . I have my black velvet that loves it \& my red secret so far. I’ve lost 2 plants. I’m debating on switching back to soil but I don’t know if they are trying to adjust or if I should get them out . It’s mostly the leaves turning yellow until there’s nothing left. It’s been about 2 months maybe .

I moved mine to pon and my Polly died. My black velvet I thought was too but I put it in water for a bit and finally put it back in soil a few weeks ago and it grew a baby!
