Adding bamboo charcoal to your bonsai substrate maintains a healthy environment for growing bonsai. The Bamboo charcoal helps filter toxic substances that form in the soil due to fermentation or bacterial action and stimulates root growth making the substrate less compact.

Naturally contains small amounts of aluminium, silicon, calcium and phosphorous, which are released through the bamboo pores.

Its crystalline structure presents a multitude of micro-pores that absorb chemical substances such as pesticides and harmful ultraviolet rays from sunlight, thus increasing its medicinal properties.

They allow air to reach the roots and thus aerate the root zone, while the presence of a fine colloidal layer that surrounds the tiny pores of each bamboo charcoal particle provides water retention.

On the other hand, this natural soil conditioner from plants is one of the best substances for absorb odors and prevent plant roots from breaking due to transplanting.

Charcoal is also a good agent for keeping mite infestations at bay. The addition of 15% of Bamboo charcoal as an anti-toxic agent mixed with the soil keeps the substrate healthy.
