Default Re: Question: Charcoal in potting mix for neps

Using charcoal on most neps is ok, but if you mix charcoal with fine media like cocopeat or unwashed burnt earth, be prepared for the fine media to "go through" the larger charcoal pieces. Charcoal is good for neutralizing chlorine, otherwise, it's a neutral media that helps improve airflow. Perlite is fine, but bear in mind that perlite absorbs water while charcoal does not.
