It is important to know about plants and what each plant has to have in order to live. Many plants cannot live in sandy soil, because there usually is not enough water nor enough nutrients in that type of soil.
in GENERAL a humus rich soil is better for plant growth, but it is dependant on the type of plant - e.g. plants that grow at the coast are at home in very sandy soils.
Plants can survive in sierra mist and it can grow. Plants will grow more with water than any other liquid.
the amount of light they get.
soil with minerals in it. It also depends on what types of plants are in discussion, but most plant prefer loam soil while most creepers (plants that do not grow upright) prefer sandy soil.
Sandy soil typically drains water quickly and may not retain enough nutrients for plant growth. As a result, plants planted in sandy soil may struggle to access sufficient water and nutrients, leading to stunted growth and potential wilting. Amending sandy soil with organic matter can improve its water retention and nutrient content, supporting healthier plant growth.
Sandy soils have little moisture and few nutrients. Therefore, most plants can't grow well. Adapted plants such as cactus have evolved to grow in sandy soil.

Beans grow better in soil because soil has all the moisture and nutrients. If you use sand, it could be to rocky. Clay will also not be good even though it can keep good moisture it does not have the nutrients like soil.

Crops that grow in sandy soil have the ability to retain moisture and drain well. These plants include barley and millet.
Cacti grow in sandy soil and have thorns.Another Answer:In North American Deserts, such plants as white thorn acacia, cat claw acacia, mesquite and ocotillo have thorns and grow in sandy soil. Cacti have spines and grow in sandy soil.
Plants cannot grow without water. All plants require some moisture, it varies with type.
