Best Answer

It all depends on the plant. Many types of plants prefer different types of soil. For example, a spider plant would like a good potting soil mixture whereas a jade would like something more well-draining and sandy.

What percentage of water-holding capacity in the soil is best for monst plant growth?

Simple answer is that it depends on the soil, but 70-90% will be ok for most soils. However, don't use % WHC as it is a poorly defined parameter. I will use the example of a loam soil and a clay soil to show why. If I take a loam soil to say 70% WHC, it may have a matric potential (i.e. water stress in the soil) of -50 kPa, which is perfectly fine for plant growth. A clay soil taken to the same %WHC may have a matric potential of -1500 kPa, which is the wilting point for plants.
