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.

Sandy soil has poor water and nutrient retention due to its large particle size and low organic matter content. This makes it difficult for plants to establish root systems and access essential resources for growth. Additionally, sandy soil can have low pH levels, limiting nutrient availability for plants.
