How to apply
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
