Using a mix of chunky perlite and charcoal can create a potting medium that is exceptionally well-draining and aerated, which is beneficial for plants that are prone to root rot or that require fast-drying conditions. This mix is particularly suitable for succulents, cacti, and some orchids.
Charcoal: Improves drainage, helps absorb impurities and excess fertilizer, and can deter fungal growth and odors.
Ratio: A typical mix might be 70% chunky perlite to 30% charcoal, but this can vary depending on plant needs. More charcoal can be used for its absorptive properties, more perlite for aeration and drainage.
Mixing: Blend the chunky perlite and charcoal together in a container until you get an even distribution.
