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.
Smaller-sized charcoal, such as charcoal fines, is ideal for use as a soil amendment and potting medium. It helps improve soil drainage and aeration, which can promote healthier plant growth.
Suited for: plants that require well-draining soil mix, such as cacti, succulents, and carnivorous plants, charcoal can be used as a planting medium.
