{"title":"Horticultural Charcoal","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"1317\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eHorticultural charcoal is a practical soil amendment used to improve potting mixes, specialty substrates, and growing media for indoor and outdoor plants. Its porous structure helps support better aeration and drainage while creating a lighter, more balanced environment around plant roots. This collection includes horticultural charcoal for plants, orchids, terrariums, tropical houseplants, container gardens, and custom soil blends. It can be mixed with materials such as bark, perlite, coco coir, and potting soil to help reduce compaction and improve substrate structure. Horticultural charcoal is especially useful in orchid mixes and enclosed terrarium setups where airflow and moisture balance are important. Available in convenient formats for home gardeners, plant collectors, greenhouse growers, and horticultural professionals across Canada, it offers a versatile option for creating customized growing media. Unlike barbecue charcoal, products intended for horticultural use are selected specifically for plant and substrate applications. Whether you are refreshing an existing potting mix or preparing a specialized blend, explore our horticultural charcoal and order the right product for your indoor plants, orchids, terrariums, or garden projects.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"biochar-amendement","title":"Biochar","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e .fiche-produit { font-family: \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; background: #ffffff; color: #2f3e2f; line-height: 1.6; padding: 30px 25px; } .fiche-produit h2 { font-size: 22px; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 15px; color: #2e5e3e; border-bottom: 1px solid #dfe8df; padding-bottom: 8px; } .fiche-produit p { margin-bottom: 18px; } .encadre { background: #f3f7f3; border-left: 4px solid #6c8f6b; padding: 20px; margin: 30px 0; } .encadre h3 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; color: #2e5e3e; } .grille { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(220px, 1fr)); gap: 18px; margin-top: 20px; } .bloc { background: #f8faf8; border: 1px solid #e2eae2; padding: 18px; } .bloc h4 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 8px; font-size: 16px; color: #2e5e3e; } @media (max-width: 640px) { .fiche-produit { padding: 20px 15px; } } \u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"fiche-produit\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiochar is a horticultural soil amendment produced through the controlled carbonization of plant matter.
