What is waterlogged soils?
Waterlogged soil is soil that is badly drained and the air has been forced out by water. It provides poor growing conditions.
Why is soil porosity influence to plant growth and development?
A sandy soil is quick draining, but may be poor in nutrients. A clay soil is poor draining, and may be waterlogged for long periods. Though clay soils may be richer than sandy soils in nutrients, having waterlogged roots may rot off a plant's roots. A well draining, nutrient rich, loamy soil will hold water, yet drain enough to avoid root rot, so allowing the plants to thrive.

For 1 cm of water there is 28.7% sand

Can money trees be planted outside in dirt?
Yes, money trees can be planted outside in dirt. The tropical wetland tree native to Central and South America (Pachira aquatica) likes moist soils and withstands periodic flooding and waterlogged locations along water bodies. It survives upland soils if it is not exposed to direct sunlight in summer and receives generous supplementary irrigation that prevents the roots and soils from ever drying out the top 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of soil.
