For some experiments, Sundew plants are grown in sand to demonstrate the ability of the roots to absorb nutrients such as Nitrates from it's surroundings. Sand is used as pure silicon sand has no natural nutrients and therefore it is possible to add or not add Nitrate based plant foods to each specimen. Thus proving the roots absorption in a fair experiment.

Where are sundew plants found?
Sundew plants have adapted to living in wet moorland that have an acid PH. Unlike other plants, sundew get their nutrients by capturing flies that stick to them and are then absorbed into the plant.

Plants that can thrive in sandy soil include succulents, cacti, lavender, rosemary, and certain types of grasses like buffalo grass or Bermuda grass. These plants are adapted to tolerate the well-draining nature of sandy soil and can thrive in such conditions with proper care.
Can tomato plants grow in sand?
Tomato plants can grow in sand, but they may require additional nutrients and water since sand does not retain moisture or provide much organic matter. Adding compost or peat moss to the sand can improve its water retention and nutrient content, allowing tomato plants to thrive. Alternatively, growing tomatoes in a raised bed or container with a mix of sand and soil can also be successful.
