The answer is good soil. Water contains very little nutrient and no support. Sand will provide root support but no food or water. Any soil is probably best but both sand and water are used commercially but require much work and knowledge.
plants that like water grow better in clay and plant that don't like water grow better in sand. like cactus
Plants generally grow better in soil than in sand because soil provides more nutrients and water retention capacities. Soil also offers a more stable environment for plant roots to establish and grow. Sand drains water very quickly and lacks essential nutrients for plant growth.
It depends on what type plant it is.
Soil provides a more suitable environment for plant growth due to its higher nutrient content, ability to hold water, and presence of beneficial microorganisms. Sand, on the other hand, lacks nutrients, has poor water retention, and does not support the microbial activity necessary for healthy plant growth.
Soil is generally better than sand for backfilling because it provides more nutrients and support for plants to grow. Sand tends to be too loose and does not retain water or nutrients well, which can lead to poor plant growth.
Because soil has nutrients that clay and sand don't have
No plant can grow in pure sand unless it is provided with water and nutrients.
No, plants usually grow the biggest in soil because it contains more nutritional elements under technical conditions. However, there are certain plant species which have adapted to the special conditions needed in order to grow in sand and therefore, these plants can grow bigger in sand. Moreover, there are "plant-social" reasons, e.g. when a plant is resistant to salt can grow better in sand than others which are not, so it grows alone and without "competition" and it grows better.
Plants can grow in soil, some grow in water, some grow in sand.
Most plants will grow better in potting soil because it contains nutrients the plants need to grow and is formulated so the water will drain slowly enough for the roots to take up the water, but not so slowly to cause the plant to rot. Roots can grow freely and anchor the plant easily.
Depends on the plant but most, not all grow better in soil because of the richness. Plants can grow next to rocks but some in rocks.
No, but it does become more difficult to grow plants in sand then in soil if you plant a flower lets say in sand you have to water it daily.
