Activated carbon is exactly the remedy that can be found, perhaps, in any medicine cabinet.

But did you know that this drug can be used to help not only humans, but also indoor plants?

If you notice that the soil in the pot is covered with mold, do not wait until it leads to detrimental consequences for the flower.

Instead, remove the top layer of soil, grind the tablets into powder and pour the resulting crumbs into the flowerpot.

Activated carbon will absorb excess liquid, which is the cause of mold.

In addition, the drug will prevent the appearance of mold in the future.

By the way, this is not the only way to use activated carbon for plants. Black tablets can be buried in open ground during the process of transplanting seedlings - this way the roots of young seedlings will definitely not rot.

In addition, it is worth adding coal to the water with the cutting placed in it - all for the same purposes.
