Composition & profile
A porous material for adsorption and a cleaner root zone
The pellet format offers a large active surface and blends easily with organic or mineral components without acting as a fertiliser.
- Added activated carbon pellets: Adsorb unwanted compounds and odours through their porous surface.
Cleaner potting mix
Adsorption helps bind unwanted compounds within the mix.
Odour control
The active surface of the pellets reduces odours in pots and enclosed setups.
Easy incorporation
The pellet form distributes evenly without turning the substrate into fine dust.
Application steps
Add it by measurement, not by guesswork
For plant potting mixes, use 1–5% of the total volume. In terrariums, it can also form a separate layer above the drainage layer.
- Plant potting mixes
- Terrariums
- Paludariums
- Indoor potting blends
Measure how much potting mix you will prepare so the addition stays within 1–5%.
Blend the pellets through the full potting mix rather than leaving them only on the surface.
Place activated carbon above the drainage material and below the main substrate.
After use, keep the remaining pellets dry and protected from moisture and odours.
It does not replace proper drainage
Activated carbon is a supporting material. Use a pot with drainage holes, an appropriate mix structure and watering adapted to the plant.
