Description
Purpose: Charcoal is used to improve soil drainage and absorb impurities in the soil.
Application: Charcoal is commonly used as a soil amendment and as a component in potting mixes. It can also be used as a layer at the bottom of pots to improve drainage and prevent root rot.
Compatibility: Charcoal is compatible with a wide variety of plants and can be used in different types of growing conditions, including indoor and outdoor gardening. It is known for its ability to absorb impurities, toxins, and odours from the soil, leading to healthier root growth and improved overall plant health. Charcoal is also an eco-friendly alternative to traditional soil amendments, as it is made from natural sources such as coconut shells or wood.
Larger-sized charcoal, such as lump charcoal, is better suited for use in air purification systems and water filtration systems, where it can absorb impurities and toxins. It is also often used in barbecue grills as a fuel source due to its high heat output and long-lasting burn time.
Suited for: plants that require well-draining soil mix, such as cacti, succulents, and carnivorous plants, charcoal can be used as a planting medium.
