Activated Carbon - Essential for Healthy Plants and Terrariums


Sybotanica’s SYBASoil-Series Activated Carbon is a natural filtration solution that absorbs toxins, chemicals, and mold from soil, terrariums, and even aquariums. Its highly porous structure prevents root rot, odors, and fungal growth, making it a must-have for plant health and long-lasting terrariums.


Why Use Activated Carbon?


Unlike regular charcoal, activated carbon has an expanded surface area, making it 100x more effective at trapping impurities and balancing moisture.



 
Prevents mold, root rot and fungal issues in plants and terrariums
 
Eliminates odors by absorbing organic compounds
 
Improves soil structure by increasing aeration and drainage
 
Creates a barrier against pests and bacteria
 
Essential for terrariums - reduces excess moisture and contamination


🔹 Disadvantages? None—except for charcoal-stained hands when handling!


How to Use Activated Carbon


 → 🌱 For Houseplants and Soil Mixes

 
Mix about 10% activated carbon into potting soil for better aeration and mold prevention.
 
Works well in both pellet and powder form—simply blend into the mix.


 → 🌿 For Terrariums

 
Add a layer above the drainage layer and below the soil to filter water naturally.
 
Prevents excess moisture buildup, reducing mold and decay.
 
Works best when combined with springtails to keep terrariums clean.


 → 🐠 For Aquariums

 
Used in filtration systems to remove contaminants and improve water clarity.


What Makes Carbon “Activated”?


Regular carbon is heated at extreme temperatures, expanding its structure to create tiny pores. These microscopic air pockets drastically increase surface area, making activated carbon 100x more absorbent than standard charcoal.


💡 Think of it like popcorn—expanding as it’s processed, resulting in a more porous, highly absorbent material.


Activated Carbon for Terrariums - Why It’s Essential


Terrariums often struggle with mold and excess moisture. By adding activated carbon, you:
