Best Answer

Few plants survive in a desert because the climate is too dry.
Because there isn't enough water or moisture in the soil for plants to take up through their roots so normal plants can't survive in the desert.

What plants can grow under a casuarina?

Not many plants grow under casuarinas because of the needles. Plants dont have to grow everywhere, Apart from human cleared areas casuarina needles create some of the few gaps in the forest for animals to hang out in. I could tell you which species grow naturally under them in my area. But they may not be endemic to your area. There are a number of invasive weeds that are able to grow under Casuarinas. These are terrible plants and I certainly dont want people to grow them. Ehrharta erecta, Cyperus, Bidens pilosa. Plants can grow from runners or suckers in Casuarina needles also. An example of a tree that can grow by suckering through Casuarina needles is the Casuarina. =] . Go out and see what grows under them naturally in your area, and if you are going to grow some yourself insure that they are provenant to your area. read - What is provenant? I only propagate endemic provenant indigenous plants. I dislike people who treat plants like toys. "OW Look isn't that JESSAMINE pretty , I'm going to plant it everywhere because I'm an *&^%$#@". Know what I mean?
