Caren, it could be spider mites. Is your tree inside the house or in your greenhouse? "Transparent sand" sounds like spider mites to me or the nymphs of spider mites perhaps? Maybe termite droppings?

I have two different Canangas, and they are both in my portable greenhouse and loving the heat and humidity in there. They are very cold sensitive even in my Zone 10b so I keep them in the portable greenhouse in the wintertime. Here is a picture taken in December. You can see both Canangas in the greenhouse. The big tree has really grown and filled out quite a bit since just a month ago and is currently putting out new leaves. I am hoping for flowers, but there is no sign of them so far on the regular one, but they are forming on my dwarf one.
