And the goods I bought were delivered on the exact day they promised, 29 of July. I opened and checked the coats when they stood on my kitchen table and oh it smells and feels good so it's absolutely good quality that I got. And I'm looking forward to tomorrow where I shall make a new terrarium for my son, he bought a terrarium approximately seven months ago and it's already gone so I promised my son to make one for him.”

Specifications
Activated charcoal is the invisible layer that keeps a terrarium healthy. In a closed container the water runs in a closed circuit: without a filter, it goes stale. The charcoal holds back odours, pollutants and metals.

How to use it
- Lay the drainage first — clay pebbles, sphagnum or clay substrate.
- Spread a thin layer of activated charcoal on top, over the whole surface.
- Cover with potting soil, then plant.
A thin layer is enough: the charcoal filters, it does not feed.

Questions
Ask a questionIs activated charcoal really essential?
In a closed terrarium, yes. Without it, the water running in a closed circuit ends up smelling and clouding the glass.
Does it need replacing?
Not as long as the terrarium stays healthy. You renew it when you rebuild the whole thing, every two to three years.
Make it, step by step.
