Well, I am not sure that anyone will approve of what I do, But.
For the plants in Turface/pumice/pea gravel/composted pine bark I might
use nothing. I actually that look.
Or, I have access to a very coarse sand used in sand blasting. It comes
from a quarry near Polk City, Florida. But, a sand blasting business or
monument company might have bags to sell or a source.
Or, if I am using Metro Mix I might just but on a fresh layer before
showing at work.
I always keep a small bucket with the not-dust fines sifted
from my Turface equivalent. I use that when I need a bare
pot with a smooth surface.
However, with our humidity, I usually can just let the moss
grow.
