What is Semi-PON?
Semi-PON (semi-hydroponic) is a long-lasting, mineral-based alternative to organic soil that retains moisture while allowing roots to breathe. Unlike traditional potting mixes that break down, compact, and create drainage issues, Semi-PON remains structurally stable, ensuring consistent moisture control, aeration, and pest prevention.
Three Ways to Use It:
- Semi-Hydroponic Substrate – Works as a self-regulating medium, absorbing and releasing moisture as needed while keeping roots aerated and supported.
- Soil Amendment – Mixed with traditional soil, it improves drainage, prevents compaction, and enhances oxygen flow to roots.
- Top Dressing – Placed on top of soil, it reduces moisture loss, discourages fungus gnats, and provides a clean, finished look.
Plant King’s Premium Semi-PON Lava Mix is made with pumice, green zeolite, black lava, red lava, and maifanitum, each ingredient playing a role in moisture retention, aeration, and mineral enrichment. Unlike mass-produced soil products that vary in quality, every bag is blended in single batches, ensuring a precise ingredient ratio for consistent results.
Perfect for semi-hydroponic setups, soil improvement, or decorative top dressing, this mix reduces maintenance, prevents common plant problems, and supports stronger root systems for a healthier, easier-growing experience.

I got this as a free product and although I’ve never done semi-hydro, I think its a really cool mix. It’s really colourful so I used it as a topper and it looks really good. I didn’t use the whole bag, going to use it as a soil ammendment as recommended and I can definitely see how it will increase drainage.
