Biochar / Charcoal

Biochar and charcoal media are lightweight, porous materials commonly used in plant growing mixes to improve aeration, drainage, and moisture balance.

• 🌱 Improves drainage & aeration — helps prevent compacted, soggy soil.
• 💧 Holds moisture — porous particles can retain some water while maintaining airflow.
• 🦠 Supports beneficial microbes — provides a porous surface for microbial activity.
• ♻️ Helps retain nutrients — biochar can adsorb nutrients and release them gradually.
• 🌿 Great for aroids & tropical plants — useful in chunky mixes for Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, Alocasia, and similar plants.
• 🪴 Can be mixed with orchid bark, pumice, perlite, coco chips, and other chunky substrates.
