Benefits for Orchid Culture

✔ Prevents Root Rot
Hardwood charcoal absorbs excess moisture while still allowing airflow — a key balance that keeps orchid roots healthy and thriving.

✔ Keeps Your Pot Fresh
Charcoal helps filter toxins and impurities in the substrate, keeping the growing medium fresh and reducing odors.

✔ Supports Repotting & Media Mixes
Great as a component in orchid potting mixes alongside bark, perlite, and sphagnum — improving overall structure and longevity.

How to Use

1. Rinse Before Use
   Wash charcoal pieces to remove dust and fine particles.

2. Mix With Other Media
   Combine with orchid bark and sphagnum moss for a balanced substrate.

3. Pot Your Orchid
   Place a layer at the bottom of the pot to improve drainage, then mix evenly through the rest of the media.
