1. Adsorb organic matter
Charcoal such as Bincho charcoal used for water purification and deodorization has innumerable small holes.
These small holes adsorb harmful organic matter and keep the water clean.
2. Minerals make flowers healthy
The minerals contained in carbon dissolve in water, always like fresh mineral water.
If the water is clean, it can be sucked up from the stems and the flowers will last a long time.
3. Material that tastes better with time
When touched with oily hands, it reacts with the carbon adhering to the surface and changes color.
You can also enjoy the changing appearance of Karen so that the impression of each flower is different even for the same variety.
