Frequently Asked Questions - Lechuza Planters
Q: Can LECHUZA be
used outdoors?
A: LECHUZA planters equipped with overflow and drain plug are
excellently suited for use outdoors - just remove the red drain plug.
When using a column planter outdoors, also remove the plug in the liner, using
a coin to unscrew it. Excess water can then run off from the planter
after heavy rainfall, thus preventing your plant from becoming waterlogged.
We recommend that LECHUZA planters without overflow and
drain plug are only used indoors, since excess rainwater cannot run off.
Q: Can LECHUZA planters with overflow and drain
plug also be used indoors?
A: No problem - LECHUZA planters with overflow and drain plug can also
be used indoors. Keep the red drain plug firmly in place when using
indoors. With the column planters two red drain plugs must remain in
place (1 x in the line and 1 x in the bottom of the planter). Use a coin
to tighten the drain plug firmly. The drain plug has a reliable sealing
ring and so prevents water leaking from the reservoir.
Q: Are LECHUZA planters frost and UV resistant?
A: Frost resistance: LECHUZA can handle the elements, whether snow, ice
or frost. But remember - your plants should also be frost resistant!
UV resistance: High quality paint with ceramic and
metallic look will retain its appearance for years.
Q: Are LECHUZA planters shatterproof?
A: The sturdy plastic does not break even if the planter takes a fall.
When used outdoors we recommend that the column planters are additionally weighted
down with large pebbles or rocks, for example, to give it more
stablility. Place pebbles or rocks in the planter after fitting the
support tubes, but before putting the liner in place.
Q: How do I best clean LECHUZA planters?
A: LECHUZA planters should be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild
household detergent. The high-quality coating of the planters is similar
to automotive paint, so abrasive cleaning products or utensils should not be
used on the planter surfaces.
Q: What are the LECHUZA planters made of?
A: LECHUZA planters are made of polypropylene (PP).
The premium planters are coated with high-quality ceramic and metallic effect
finishes. MINI and MAXI - CUBI, DELTA 15 as well as the CARARO and the
DELTA frame are made from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS).
Q: For which planters are wheeled coasters or
rollers available?
A: The LECHUZA - coaster is available for CLASSICO and QUADRO models
starting from size 43 and above. It almost disappears under the planter
and its 5 stable rollers make it easy to move up to 395 lb. For CARARO there are also
rollers available. Install the two sturdy rollers on the bottom of the
planter before planting and your CARARO can be moved back and forth with ease.
Q: Can the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system be used
for all plants?
A: In principle all plants cultivated in soil are suitable for the
LECHUZA sub-irrigation system.
Q: Is the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system the same as
hydroculture?
A: No, because the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system is designed for the
irrigation of all plants which grow in soil. You therefore don't need
expensive plants propagated especially for hydroculture, but can choose your
favorites from the wide range of conventional plants available. Simply
plant them as described in the instructions included in the sub-irrigation set
using good quality potting soil, or alternatively in LECHUZA-PON plant
substrate.
The LECHUZA sub-irrigation set and the accompanying water
level indicator are not suitable for use with hydroculture.
Q: How is the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system
assembled?
A: Assembly of the LECHUZA sub-irrigation system is described in detail
in the planting instructions.
Q: Can the sub-irrigation set be used without the
liner in the column planters?
A: To use the sub-irrigation set in a column planter, you will need the
corresponding liner. The sub-irrigation set cannot be fitted directly
into a column planter.
Q: Are spare parts available for the LECHUZA
sub-irrigation set?
A: The individual components of the LECHUZA sub-irrigation set
(separator, water supply shaft, supply shaft cap, water level indicatior and
LECHUZA-PON granulate drainage) can be purchased separately.
Q: What is the water level indicator in the LECHUZA
sub-irrigation set made of?
A: The water level indicator is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and
polypropylene (PP). The transparent scale indicator is not made of glass,
it is manufactured from polycarbonate (PC).
Q: What is LECHUZA-PON?
A: LECHUZA-PON is the plant substrate from LECHUZA for house and pot
plants. It is the ideal alternative to conventional potting soil -
particularly in combination with the LECHUZA sub-irrigation set.
LECHUZA-PON stores added nutrients which are then released to the plants as
they need them. It can also retain up to 40% of its volume in water while
at the same time maintaining the opimum air pore volume. LECHUZA-PON
supports aeration of the roots whilst providing optimum dosage of water to the
plants.
Q: What is LECHUZA-PON composed of? Does
LECHUZA-PON contain fertilizers?
A: LECHUZA-PON plant substrate is made up of pumice, zeolites, lava and
fertilizer. The following fertilizer declaration is applicable to the
fertilizer: 1 liter LECHUZA-PON contains 3g
slow-release fertilizer 15-9-9+3. NPK fertilizer, coated,
contains magnesium and trace nutrients effective for 6-12 months. At the
end of this period fertilize the plants as usual using commercial liquid
fertilizer in the water.
Q: What is LECHUZA-PON plant substrate used for?
A: The mineral-based LECHUZA-PON with optimum planting properties is the
ideal alternative to conventional potting soil - particularly in combination
with the LECHUZA sub-irrigation set.
In addition, when you plant your plants in soil,
LECHUZA-PON forms a drainage layer between the water reservoir of the LECHUZA
sub-irrigation set and the soil layer. The amount of LECHUZA-PON required
for the drainage layer is included in the sub-irrgiation set.
Q: How do I repot my plants in LECHUZA-PON plant
substrate?
A: Repotting your plants in LECHUZA-PON plant substrate is really
simple: remove your plant from the soil, loosen the rootball carefully and free
it from large clumps of soil. After fitting the sub-irrigation set into
your LECHUZA planter, place a finger's width of LECHUZA-PON to act as
drainage. Now add your plant and fill the planter with LECHUZA-PON.
Lightly shake and pack down the plant substrate, adding more LECHUZA-PON if
necessary.
Q: Is additional LECHUZA-PON necessary for the
LECHUZA sub-irrigation set?
A: Sufficient LECHUZA-PON is already included in the LECHUZA
sub-irrigation set to allow for a drainage layer between the water reservoir
and the soil layer in your planter. Additional LECHUZA-PON is only needed
when you repot your plants and change the soil. Place a fresh finger's
width of LECHUZA-PON on the separator of the sub-irrigation set. Then
plant in soil as usual. Alternatively you can also plant your plants
entirely in LECHUZA-PON. A 6L pack of LECHUZA-PON is available for this
purpose.
Q: Should the column planters be completely
filled with soil?
A: A liner is available from LECHUZA for the column-shaped planters, so
that it is not necessary to plant the entire planter. This is equipped
with retractable handles. The liner also enables you to conveniently
change your planting.
Q: What is the growing-in phase?
A: During the first 3 months after you have planted your plant in a
LECHUZA planter with its sub-irrigation set, you should water the plant from
above onto the soil. After about 3 months the roots of your plant have
grown far enough into the moist area that they can look after themselves
independently with water from the reservoir. You can then water your
plants conveniently via the water supply shaft.
Q: What is the dry phase?
A: After the growing-in phase fill the water reservoir to
"max." for the first time, using the water supply shaft.
LECHUZA now provides optimum care for your plants. No further watering is
necessary for the time being. If after a few days or weeks the water level
indicator reads "min." - don't water right away. This is the
start of the "dry phase" for the plant - the length of the dry phase
is about 1 week for planters in sizes 21 to 43, and about 2 weeks for planters
in sizes 50 to 70. After each dry phase, refill the water reservoir to
"max." using the water supply shaft.
Note however that each type of plant has its own specific
requirements and the dry phase can vary.
Q: How do I fertilize plants in LECHUZA?
A: To fertilize plants growing in LECHUZA add commercial
liquid fertilizer to the water every second watering, following the
instructions on the fertilizer package. The fertilizer is better
distributed when the plant soil is occasionally moistened from above with plain
water.
