Activated Carbon – Essential for Healthy Plants and Terrariums


SYBASoil Activated Carbon is a natural, highly porous material that filters toxins, reduces odors, and prevents mold in plant soil mixes, terrariums, and even aquariums. Its expanded surface area locks in impurities and balances moisture, creating a healthier environment for roots and microorganisms.
 
● Why Activated Carbon is a Game-Changer


Unlike standard charcoal, activated carbon undergoes a special heating process that multiplies its surface area by up to 100 times. The result? Superior absorption of chemicals, odors, and excess moisture.
Prevents mold, root rot, and fungal outbreaks in terrariums and soil mixes.
Eliminates odors by trapping organic compounds.
Improves soil aeration and drainage, reducing compaction.
Acts as a barrier against pests and bacteria.
Terrarium essential – filters water and keeps the system clean.
Downside? Just messy hands if you skip gloves!
 
● How to Use Activated Carbon


For Houseplants: Mix about 10% activated carbon into your potting mix to boost aeration and prevent fungal issues.
For Terrariums: Add a layer above the drainage layer and beneath soil to filter water and prevent mold buildup. Pair with springtails for best results.
For Aquariums: Use in filter systems to absorb impurities and maintain crystal-clear water.
 
● What Makes It “Activated”?


Heating carbon at extreme temperatures creates countless micro-pores, turning it into a powerful absorption material. Think of it as charcoal that’s been “popped like popcorn” – light, porous, and 100× more effective.
 
● Activated Carbon in Terrariums – Why You Need It


Prevents fungal infections in roots.
Controls moisture and maintains airflow in the substrate.
Keeps terrariums odor-free by filtering contaminants.
 
● Do You Really Need It?


For soil mixes: Not mandatory, but highly recommended for root health and moisture balance.
For terrariums: Absolutely – it’s your first line of defense against mold and rot.
