Horticultural Charcoal BioChar 2.2lb

HydraGarden Horticultural Charcoal is a 100% natural and organic premium hardwood biochar soil amendment, specially designed to enhance the growth and health of indoor tropical plants, terrariums, and gardens.

Sourced and made in Canada, this high-quality product is perfect for gardeners seeking to improve their soil's structure and support optimal plant growth. With a size range of 2mm to 20mm, this versatile charcoal is ideal for preventing soil compaction, promoting aeration, and creating a well-balanced potting mix that allows roots to grow.

Designed to mix seamlessly with other popular horticultural amendments, works well with LECA, perlite, moss, sphagnum moss, peat moss, orchid bark, vermiculite, coco coir, coconut chips, worm castings, lava rock, mycorrhizae, and more. Whether you're crafting your own custom soil blend for indoor plants or refining your existing mix, this product is a key ingredient in creating the ideal environment for a wide range of plants. Use it in orchid potting mix, cactus soil, succulent soil, bonsai soil, tropical plant soil, aroid mix, or any soilless growing medium. In terrariums or paludariums it can help maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem. It absorbs excess moisture, reduces odors, improves drainage, and prevents bacterial and fungal growth, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment for your plants to thrive. It’s also perfect for cultivating springtails, a beneficial microorganism that helps maintain terrarium cleanliness.

The porous, textured surface and moisture retention properties of this non-activated charcoal make it an ideal breeding ground for springtails, providing them with the perfect habitat to live, hide, and reproduce. For best results, soak the charcoal before use and mix one part charcoal to five parts soil or soilless mixture.
