Product description Amazonian peoples used charcoal as a key ingredient of their fertile terra preta soils, and today it is a staple component in nearly every substrate used in the aroid, tropical plant and terrarium hobbies. Charcoal promotes microbial activity and increases nutrient retention for healthier soils. In addition to its use as a substrate, it is also an excellent material for culturing live foods inside the vivarium, particularly springtails (Collembola) – filling the trough with charcoal supports an ongoing food source for freshly morphed froglets. Because it weighs half as much as calcined clay, it also makes an excellent drainage material that will help reduce the overall weight of your vivarium display. This fine grade charcoal is measured at aproximately 2-5mm. Safety Warning Handle with care. Avoid inhalation and contact with skin. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use in food preparation.
