# I’ve heard Syngonium respond to pon really well \& I just started…

_Posted by Malinda on 2024-09-02_

I’ve heard Syngonium respond to pon really well \& I just started transitioning some of mine today . I’ve had incredible experiences with my Alocasia so figured I’d give it a go . I’m actually thinking about doing my calatheas next . I was just wondering if any of you use pon as a substrate for your Syngonium \& how it went or how it’s going . I don’t use the lechuza pon pots i just use clear pots/vases so I can see the color of the pon change then add water accordingly I haven’t really found it necessary to spend the money on the lechuza pon pots \& what I’ve been doing with my Alocasia is working .

Not exactly the same, but I’ve got a couple in leca and I just used nursery pots or humidity domes in vases. But I’ve got a couple in my potting mix I make that are also thriving.
