This silica sand is the same kind used in our nursery. It is #20 grade so it is coarse enough to provide drainage without becoming compacted which is important for many carnivorous plants. It also makes an excellent top-dressing to inhibit fungus gnats and help reduce the growth of algae.
Amount: 1/2 gallon
PLEASE READ:
Due to weight, sand must be ordered separately from plants and other fragile items that would be easily crushed during shipping. Orders that contain sand and fragile items together will either be refunded or put on hold until additional shipping charges can be collected to send items separately.
A maximum quantity of 2 bags are allowed per order.

Perfect sand. This is a very clean product. This has ideal grain size and mixed seamlessly with perlite and pumice. This is a 1/2 gallon of sand which should go a long way for regular houseplant needs.

Needed “horticultural” sand to re-pot some ice plants. Who knew you shouldn’t use regular ‘ol play sand? :-)
Served the purpose well. Wish you got more bang for the buck but I think the price here was probably the best I saw when researching. Quick shipping. Would purchase here again if ever needed again.
