Different plants require various soil types due to their unique adaptations and growth needs. Soil composition affects water retention, drainage, nutrient availability, and pH levels, all of which influence a plant's ability to thrive. For example, cacti prefer sandy, well-draining soils to prevent root rot, while ferns often thrive in moisture-retentive, loamy soils rich in organic matter. Thus, the right soil type supports each plant's specific physiological and ecological requirements.

Why do some plants feeds on plant?
The pitcher plants, flycatchers, sundews, etc, are plants that tend to grow in nutrient poor soils. By feeding on insects the plants get all the nutrients they need for growth.
What kinds of minerals do plants need?
they need water, and sunlight. Also, pleanty of care.
How can pitcher plants live in areas with poor soils?
Pitcher plants get their nutrients mainly from the insects that they trap. So they don't need to depend on the soil for nutrients.
What kinds of plants don't need soil to grow?
Lots don't.
Why do plants and animals need different things?

What kinds of plants dont need sunlight to grow and still be good?
ferns
What organic matter is in soils that plants need to grow?
It's Loam a perfect mixture of clay, silt, sand, and organic matter.
What kind of compost do hydrangeas need for repotting?
The ericaceous type is the kind of compost that hydrangeas need for repotting. The shrubs in question prefer soils whose pH level is slightly acidic. They therefore require the kinds of amendments, composts, fertilizers, mulches, and soils favored by azaleas, heathers, and rhododendrons.
Differents kinds of drugs?
1000 different kinds. need to be much more specific in question.
Which soil is better to grow plants in?
It all depends on what type of plant you want to grow, e.g. acid loving, free draining. Most soils can be improved with compost or grit, you just need to find out what the plants you want to grow need.
What kind of sporting goods do you need for fishing?
There are few different kinds of sporting goods that are needed for fishing. One needs a good fishing rod, different kinds of baits, and a few different kinds of lures.
What does nutrient poor soils mean?
Without enough nitrogen, and minerals such as phosphorus and potassium, plants cannot create the molecules they need to grow and function. Soils without these elements (and others) have to be fertilized to grow crops. Growing certain crops can also restore at least some of the nitrogen. Some plants have adapted to nutrient-poor soils, such as the Venus flytrap, which gets organic material from insects it traps.
