This looks like good quality charcoal. unfortunately the pieces in the package I received are much smaller than shown in some of the pictures please see the attached.So it's probably a good choice for general soil amendment, not ideal if you're looking for larger pieces for orchids that like larger chunks, which is what I hoped for based on the pictures, particularly the one showing the larger chunks in the hands.

This is my go to charcoal for adding to soil for house plants. I’ve purchased it several times and really like the granule size, as it mixes well into my potting soil. There is no odor, although it can be a bit messy as the charcoal will stain in your hands if you’re not wearing gloves. Much like my cooking, I don’t really measure anything. I add a couple of tablespoons of charcoal to a small bucket of soil, and that seems to do the trick. The charcoal incorporates well into the soil. Adding charcoal to soil helps oxygen to be redistributed to the soil, allowing for plant roots to thrive - it can also help potted plants by improving their drainage.

This is a good product. The charcoal is chopped quite small, but not too finely, and works well in all sizes of planters/pots. For the price advertised, I felt this was a very good value and would certainly purchase it again. Horticultural charcoal is essential to keep your indoor plants happy; the charcoal absorbs excess moisture and helps to prevent root rot. I am very happy with this purchase, and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Lasts a while, you would think it would not because the bag is seriously small. For the price it’s crazy to spend that much for something so small but here we are. It’s for my plants so I pamper them .Comes in flakes, small and easy to crush. Helps with drainage, and good for the plants.
