Adding about 5% 2cm charcoal in the orchid material will make your orchid roots and leaves stronger and disease resistance greatly improved, for three reasons.

One: charcoal, like activated carbon, can absorb toxic substances and greatly reduce orchid acidosis caused by acidification of materials.

Second: charcoal has the function of sterilization and disinfection and can reduce diseases.

Third: charcoal has a large number of K (potassium) elements, which can promote the growth of orchids and have an unexpected effect on promoting the growth of orchids.

In tissue culture, the last step of rooting and strong seedling culture, the addition of activated carbon plays a very important role in promoting the root growth of orchids, after autumn, let the roots in the basin to speak, !

This is only a personal opinion, here to throw a brick to attract jade, we have a better experience to share!

In addition, using larger pieces of charcoal instead of bricks to put the bottom of the basin, the effect is better.

Note: activated carbon is the further processing of charcoal, the effect is stronger, but the price is naturally more expensive, charcoal effect is already very good, the price is cheap, is a good choice.
