The 4-quart bag contains small to medium-sized particles in the 3–7 mm range, making it easy to mix with standard potting mixes, bonsai soils, orchid blends, and succulent substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Legigo horticultural charcoal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAs a porous, activated material, Legigo charcoal adds structure to soil, helping air pockets form around roots. It helps drain excess moisture so the potting mix stays evenly moist without becoming soggy. Its porous surface also supports a more balanced interaction with fertilizers, aiding slower, steadier nutrient availability rather than rapid release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eImproved drainage and reduced soil compaction to promote healthy root growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEnhanced soil aeration and porosity for robust root oxygen access\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMoisture balance that helps prevent overwatering while keeping the mix workable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdsorbs excess salts and organic compounds, helping maintain stable nutrient levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSuitable as a bottom layer in terrariums or orchid mixes for reliable drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eIdeal uses for Legigo charcoal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBonsai soils, orchid blends, and succulent substrates that benefit from added drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHouseplant potting mixes where lightening the medium supports root health\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTerrarium substrates and epiphytic environments where controlled moisture is key\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGeneral soil amendments to improve structure and reduce soil compaction over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eRinse or use straight from the bag to blend into your potting soil. For most setups, incorporate 1–2 cups of charcoal per 5 quarts of soil or place a bottom drainage layer in larger pots or terrariums. Combine with perlite or other airy media as needed to achieve your preferred texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eNote: Legigo charcoal is a supplemental soil additive designed to improve drainage and aeration. It is not a fertilizer and should be used as part of a balanced soil program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAdditionally, charcoal can absorb heat from sunlight, potentially warming the surrounding soil in certain setups. This is a natural property of porous charcoal and may influence microclimates within pots or terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What plants or setups is Legigo charcoal best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Great for bonsai, orchids, succulents, terrariums, and most potted houseplants to improve drainage, aeration, and moisture balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How should I use Legigo charcoal in my potting mix?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Mix 1–2 cups charcoal per 5 quarts of soil, or place a bottom drainage layer in pots or terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Legigo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45740639092922,"sku":"B09WYG6FZB","price":59.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/3536\/8890\/files\/legigo-4qt-horticultural-charcoal-bag.jpg?v=1774793241","url":"https:\/\/gardencanada.ca\/products\/legigo-4qt-all-natural-horticultural-charcoal-activated-hardwood-for-soil-amendment-and-plant-care","provider":"Garden Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
