💡 Tips for Best Results:

Mix into fine bark or sphagnum moss blends at 10–20% by volume. Use a thin charcoal layer at the bottom of small pots or seedling trays to boost drainage. Lightly dust trimmed roots with charcoal powder during re-potting to protect against infection. Flush potting mix occasionally to remove fertilizer salt buildup and maintain healthy media.
