Sand drains much more readily than those with clay and organic matter. This means the plant does not get as much water in sandy soil. Neither does sand contain many nutrients. Typically, plants that grow naturallyin sandy soil can withstand low levels of both water and nutrients. Often sands can be acidic, and can become non-wetting, which further reduces the amount of available water.
