sounds good but i dont have a place to find this stuff, i live in a small town without a garden centre so online shopping is my only option
Are there any farm-supply stores in your area? I get my sand from a local store; they sell it as "filter sand". Chicken grit is another option. If anyone sells sandblasting supplies, that might be usable, too.
When I had just a few plants, I used to buy sand from Amazon sellers. However, shipping costs were rather high because sand is heavy. As the number of my plants increased, this was no longer an affordable option. Go to Amazon UK, search for "coarse sand for plants", and you'll see what I'm talking about. The shipping cost is 2 or 3 times as much as the sand itself.

asked a question and have got multiple answers but they seem a little suspicious as they were all posted around the same time
The only way to know for sure is to test it out. If you don't want to risk an entire plant, do a
leaf-pull propagation and see it it will grow in this soil.
