About Pon Addict

I’m the grower behind Pon Addict. Just one person, many plants, and grow cabinets that could legally qualify as climate-controlled laboratories. This didn’t start as a brand. It started as an experiment. A shrine. A personal descent into nutrient obsession that got way out of hand.

It began with my Alocasia Bambino Pink Variegated. I wanted to see if I could push the variegation further. Not just preserve the colour. Amplify it. I started tracking EC and pH. I adjusted nutrient ratios. Changed the order I mixed them. Tuned light levels. Watched everything. The pink intensified. The variegation held. The leaves blew up in size. Growth became surgical. That’s when I knew I couldn’t go back. I wasn’t just keeping plants alive. I was optimizing them like they owed me something.

People noticed. They started asking what I was feeding. How I kept the colours so stable. How I made the leaves double in size. And every time someone asked, I answered. With paragraphs. With logs. With mixing steps, test results, and everything I’d already tried that didn’t work. I wasn’t interested in vague advice. I wanted to teach. Properly. Thoroughly. Like their plant’s life depended on it.

At the same time, I was buried in research. Reading scientific papers. Academic textbooks. Tissue culture manuals. Hydroponic grower guides. Forums filled with unhinged semi-hydro experiments. I’d find a new technique or additive, cross-check it with proper sources, and test it before deciding if it earned a place in my feed recipe. Nothing gets added without trial. Nothing gets recommended unless it survives the chaos.

That’s what Pon Addict became. A place to store the science. The spirals. The late-night experiments. The test logs, root resurrections, feeding rituals, and emotional support leaves. I built it for the people who care too much. Who want better growth and deeper knowledge. Who are tired of recycled care tips that say nothing and solve less.

Because most houseplant content stops at photosynthesis. Nobody talks about ion transport, nutrient lockout, or why your EC is climbing while your plant is crying. Nobody tells you how to fix calcium-phosphorus clashes in Pon or what to do when your root zone goes silent. But I will. Because I’ve been there. And I log everything.

Pon Addict is not a lifestyle brand. It’s a living lab report with a cult following. It’s one grower spiraling publicly so you don’t have to. This is where the chaos gets documented. This is where the science gets emotional. This is where you stop guessing and start feeding with intent.

Welcome to Pon Addict. Your leaf is sacred here.
