No, this is pure horticultural sand. It is an inert material designed solely to improve soil structure, drainage, and aeration, so you will still need to provide nutrients through your chosen potting mix or fertilizer.

Unigro Horticultural Sand is generally pH neutral and should not significantly alter the acidity or alkalinity of your potting mix. It is a safe, structural additive that focuses on physical soil properties rather than chemical composition.
