6 x Brunnings Horticultural Charcoal 5L – Natural Soil Purifier & Conditioner (Bundle Pack)

Brunnings Horticultural Charcoal is a high-grade, porous soil additive designed to improve the health and longevity of indoor and outdoor plants. This 5L pack provides an essential component for container gardening, specifically acting as a natural filter to remove impurities and absorb excess moisture. Its high porosity allows it to trap and hold nutrients, preventing them from leaching away during watering, while also aerating the soil to prevent compaction. When used in terrariums or pots without drainage holes, it plays a critical role in preventing "sour" soil by absorbing odors and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. It is an indispensable tool for enthusiasts of orchids, ferns, and delicate indoor tropicals.

Best For: Improving drainage and purifying soil in terrariums, orchid mixes, and indoor potted plants to prevent root rot and soil souring.

Key Features

• Natural Filtration & Purification: Effectively absorbs toxins, impurities, and unpleasant odors, keeping the growing medium fresh and healthy.
• Moisture & Nutrient Retention: The porous structure acts like a sponge, holding onto water and liquid fertilizers to release them back to the plant as needed.
• Prevents Soil Souring: Vital for closed environments like terrariums, where it helps manage moisture levels and prevents the buildup of stagnant water.
• Enhanced Aeration: Helps create "air pockets" within the soil or potting mix, ensuring roots have access to the oxygen required for vigorous growth.
• Versatile Soil Amendment: Can be used as a bottom layer for drainage or mixed directly into potting media for specialized plants like Orchids and African Violets.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Available options include:

✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
