Quikrete Play Sand for Carnivorous Plants: Safe or Not?

Verdict: Safe to Use

Quikrete Premium Play Sand (99–99.9% quartz) is fine. It's likely processed in Portland with silica and basalt. Midwest sands may contain limestone—avoid those.

Tips

• Washing sand never hurts.
• In Portland area: avoid Ross Island sand (river source, potential contaminants).

Good Growing!
