Horticultural CharcoalHorticultural charcoal
can be used in a variety of applications! At MVB Exotics we mix our Medium/Large charcoal into all of our terrarium substrates. This helps to filter the water that passes through, aids in avoiding compaction of the soil, provides additional living space for microfauna and works as a great drainage layer in our tropical setups.
Additionally, our Springtail cultures are grown using our Small/Medium horticultural charcoal. Using charcoal as a breeding substrate provides a clean, contaminant free environment with an incredible amount of surface area to produce dense colonies in smaller containers.
[Benefits]
• SOIL AERATION — Small to medium size pieces keep soil from compacting on the roots of potted plants
• NUTRIENT BUFFER — Absorbs excess nutrients to keep soil healthy for plant roots
• DRAINAGE ASSISTANCE — Allows excess moisture to drain through the substrate in tropical setups
• NATURAL FILTER — Horticultural Charcoal filters harmful and odor-causing bacteria
Our charcoal comes in 6oz portions packaged in 5" x 7" bags (pictured). We offer discounts for multiple bags and can produce larger quantities by request.
[Ordering Guide]
We recommend (1) bag of charcoal for every 1-2 gallons of substrate.
Both the Small/Medium or Medium/Large size is suitable for Springtail breeding substrate.
We recommend the Medium/Large size for use in terrarium/vivarium substrate or horticultural purposes.
