💡 Tips for Best Results:

Blend charcoal into fine-grade orchid bark or sphagnum moss mixes at 10–20% volume. Use as a drainage layer in seedling trays or small pots. Dust trimmed roots lightly with powdered charcoal during repotting for protection. Flush potting media occasionally to maintain freshness and minimize salt buildup.
