Cuttings rot before they root if the medium around them holds too much water, which is exactly what coarse washed sand is built to prevent. Free-draining and gritty, it gives cuttings the air pocket they need at the base to strike instead of sitting in boggy, airless mix.
It's also handy for opening up heavy clay soil, blending into homemade potting mixes for extra grit, or as part of a mix for cacti that need sharp drainage. Ready to use straight from the bag.
A simple, no-frills product that solves a specific problem well.
