Depending on the time of year, plants may be recently cut back or dormant. This is a normal part of seasonal plant care and does not indicate that the plant is unhealthy. We will only select plants that we believe are healthy and viable.

Espoma Organic Charcoal is an all-natural high carbon material that helps improve soils. It is produced by heating untreated hardwoods to very high temperatures without oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. The result is an excellent soil conditioner for potting mixes that improve drainage in containers.
For Containers with Drainage Holes:
Add up to two cups of Espoma Organic Charcoal for each cubic foot (1 heaping tbsp. per quart) of potting soil. For best results add the appropriate amount of Bio-tone Starter Plus. Mix thoroughly, fill your container and plant your plants.
For Containers without Drainage Holes:
Add a 1 to 2 inch layer to the bottom of the container before adding potting mix.
For Terrariums:
Thoroughly wash & dry container prior to planting. Add a layer of small gravel to the bottom of the terrarium. To that add ½ to 1 inch layer of Espoma Organic Charcoal. Add a 1” layer of sphagnum peat moss to help prevent potting mix from seeping into the drainage area. Now add Espoma Organic Potting Mix and you are ready to plant your terrarium
