You might try going to a swimming pool company and looking at there
sand. Pool sand is usually a silica based sand, washed and ready to
use. It goes for about 6 dollars for about 50 pounds. Silica sand is
what is normally used (here) in pool filters. Hope this helps.

I plan to repot several of my plants that have outgrown their original pots.
The sphagnum moss, sphagnum peat and perlite were no problem to find, but I
am stuck on the type of sand to use. The main thing I can find for sale
around here (Dallas, TX) is labeled "desert" sand. It states that it is
washed, but is this safe to use on CP? Has anyone ever tried a product
called "lava sand"...appears to be crushed lava rock. THANKS.
