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

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.
