Lambert Horticultural Charcoal
Share
Lambert horticultural charcoal is a technical amendment known for its filtration and adsorption properties, contributing to the sanitary balance of growing media. When incorporated into potting soil, it helps purify air and water by limiting the accumulation of undesirable compounds, while improving the overall structure of the growing environment.
Particularly valued in container gardening and terrariums, it reduces excess mineral salts and limits the development of organic odors linked to decomposition. When placed as a drainage layer, it promotes the evacuation of excess water and prevents root asphyxiation. It can also be used in mixtures with other specialized substrates, especially for certain epiphytic orchids.
Directions for use
- Incorporate into potting soil at 5 to 15% of the total volume to improve filtration.
- Place a layer at the bottom of pots to optimize drainage.
- Use in terrariums to limit odors and stabilize the environment.
- Mix with coarse substrates for growing orchids such as Vandas.
Applications
- Potted plants sensitive to excess humidity
- Closed or semi-open terrariums
- Epiphytic orchids (especially Vandas)
- Specialized substrates requiring better aeration
