Lambert Horticultural Charcoal

Lambert Horticultural Charcoal

Lambert Horticultural Charcoal is a technical amendment known for its filtration and adsorption properties. Integrated into potting soil, it contributes to the sanitary balance of the substrate by limiting the accumulation of undesirable compounds, while improving the overall structure of the growing medium.

Particularly appreciated in container cultivation and terrariums, it helps to reduce excess mineral salts and limit organic odors related to decomposition. Placed as a drainage layer, it promotes the evacuation of excess water and helps prevent root asphyxia conditions.

Uses

Improvement of potting soils for potted plants
Cultivation in closed or semi-open terrariums
Drainage at the bottom of containers
Mixing with specialized substrates
Cultivation of certain epiphytic orchids

Recommended Plants

Potted plants sensitive to excess moisture
Terrarium plants
Epiphytic orchids
Vandas
Plants requiring an aerated and draining substrate

Properties

Product type: Horticultural charcoal
Brand: Lambert
Use: Filtration, drainage, adsorption and substrate improvement
Captures undesirable organic and mineral residues
Promotes water flow
Reduces odors in humid environments
Contributes to better substrate aeration

Advantages

Lambert Horticultural Charcoal helps capture impurities, organic residues, and certain mineral excesses present in the substrate. This action helps maintain a more stable growing medium, particularly in pots and terrariums.

Its use improves drainage and promotes better air circulation around the roots. It thus helps reduce the risks associated with water saturation and overly compact conditions.

In terrariums, it is particularly useful for limiting odors and stabilizing the growing environment. Mixed with coarse substrates, it is also suitable for certain epiphytic orchids such as Vandas.

Usage Tips

Incorporate into potting soil at a rate of 5 to 15% of the total volume to improve filtration and substrate structure.

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 epiphytic orchids, especially Vandas.

Why choose Lambert Horticultural Charcoal?

Choosing Lambert Horticultural Charcoal means improving the filtration, drainage, and stability of growing substrates.

It is an excellent choice for potted plants, terrariums, epiphytic orchids, and specialized mixtures requiring better aeration, odor reduction, and a more balanced root environment.
