For some experiments, Sundew plants are grown in sand to demonstrate the ability of the roots to absorb nutrients such as Nitrates from it's surroundings. Sand is used as pure silicon sand has no natural nutrients and therefore it is possible to add or not add Nitrate based plant foods to each specimen. Thus proving the roots absorption in a fair experiment.
