1 Quart Coarse Sand for Succulent, Bonsai Tree & Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix

The 1 Quart Coarse Sand for Succulent, Bonsai Tree & Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix is a suitable option for drainage for cacti, mesembs, succulents, and mesembs. However, for trees, citrus fruits, and avocados, it is recommended to use bagged soil from big box stores as they usually contain the necessary components for good drainage. The sand is described as "dirty" and coarse, making it not a suitable option for use in a freshwater aquarium. It requires multiple rinses to remove the murkiness, but even then, it does not become crystal clear. It is suggested to opt for aquarium gravel for aquarium use. The sand is gray in color and can be used for starting succulent and cactus seeds. The amount of sand to mix with bagged soil depends on the type of succulents or cactus being planted, as some prefer well-draining soil while others require more water. Overall, customers have had mixed experiences with the 1 Quart Coarse Sand. Some have found it to be exactly what they needed for their terrariums, succulents, and carnivorous plants. Others have been disappointed with the size of the rocks, the lack of instructions for mixing it with soil, and the fact that it is somewhat costly for sand.
