I'm not so sure.... I see others have posted NO WAY... however I'd like to point out that most of Florida is sand.... and lots of stuff grows here in sand. Even our dirt here is mostly "sand".
Perhaps if you put a few layers of small pebbles throughout it would work????
My biggest concern would be what KIND of sand? Sand from say a playground? or sand from the beach? I'd be concerned with sand from the beach because it's likely loaded with salt from the ocean. Sand from a playground with some layers of pebbles throughout..... I dunno... it might work.
How about you give it a try and report back the results

this is why i nead to know if its just sand or sand combined with somthing you can make it work.. make shure sand ist mixed with like salt ect you can biol it and that will help some... go get some perlite or clay pebbeles.. they will hold some moisture... if not go out back dig a deap whole depending on were you live you will come accrose clay in ground role up balls and put in sand.... also a few pebble or rocks will help keaping it from packing to much..I'm not so sure....

Right you are - but you don't want to use "just sand".I'm not so sure.... I see others have posted NO WAY... however I'd like to point out that most of Florida is sand.... and lots of stuff grows here in sand. Even our dirt here is mostly "sand".

How long will it take to get some soil? They can live for quite a while without soil. Says. As long as they have a bit of water. They won't like it, but they'll go.

good point - they'd probably do better by just putting the roots in some water.

Put them in soil as soon as you can.

depending on how big it is id just take it out of the soil and maybe put some rooting hormone on it and then just plant it.
