The rate of growth of sand cactus plants depends upon the particular environment and on the particular age and overall health of the plant. Cactus plants handle a wide range of soils. But they prefer a free draining soil that holds some moisture. Moisture tends to drain quickly out of sand. So how well the cactus does depends upon how well its roots are able to capture moisture before it's all gone. It also depends upon how much of that moisture the roots are able to send up into the plant, for life sustaining activities.
