Activated charcoal is a plant-care secret that keeps soil fresh and roots happy. It works like a natural purifier, trapping toxins, excess minerals, and smells so your plants can breathe easy.
•How to use: Mix a thin layer into your potting mix or place some at the bottom of pots, terrariums, and kokedamas before adding soil.
•When to use: Great when repotting, starting a new soil mix, or freshening up old soil. You can even sprinkle some in afterwards if you want to boost your plant’s root health.
•Where it shines: Perfect for indoor plants, terrariums, kokedamas, or any closed system where airflow is limited and soil can get a little funky.
A little goes a long way—your plants will thank you with healthier roots and fresher soil.
