Sand is not typically recommended for house plants as it can lead to drainage problems by compacting the soil too densely. Sand does not provide much nutritional value for plants and can hinder the absorption of water and nutrients in the soil. It's better to use a well-balanced potting mix specifically formulated for house plants.

What sand do you use to hold planted pots of alpine plants?
A well-draining mix like coarse sand, perlite, or pumice is ideal for alpine plants in pots. Avoid fine sand as it can lead to waterlogging and root rot. Make sure to mix the sand with a good-quality potting mix for optimal growth.

Will most plants grow in sand?
Plants can not grow in sand alone.If you provide the necessary nutrients and water, as in Hydroponic gardening, then you can grow healthy plants in sand or gravel. But that is not 'sand alone'.Likewise, plants will grow well in sand that has organic material and other soil enrichers mixed into it. Again, that is not 'sand alone'.Plants can grow in just about any medium, as long as they have water and nutrients. Unfortunately, sand doesn't hold onto water and it contains no organic material, so there is nothing for plants to use for nourishment.As you can see at a beach or in a sand desert, some plant species have evolved to handle conditions close to 'sand alone', usually by sending roots down far enough to find water, or by growing very fast whenever there is a rain, or by absorbing the rainwater quickly and storing it for future use. However, even these plants can only survive where there are some nutrients mixed in the sand. Pure sand will not do.(Please note: this question concerns growing in 'sand alone', not 'sandy soil' or 'in a desert'.)
