most plants grow best in soil that contains large amounts of sand????

right???

or humus

Not sand.

How many plants grow on a sandy beach or in a desert?

the choices

a) clay
b) humus
c) water
d) sand

it cannot be a because that doesn't make any sense and my answer is wrong so it's not d. I'm assuming it's c, right?

Come, on, Laruen!

Is water really soil?

i got it covered

To determine the type of soil that is ideal for most plants to grow in, we need to understand the composition of different soil types and their impact on plant growth.

1. Sand: Soil that contains large amounts of sand is known as sandy soil. Sandy soil has relatively large particles, which allows for good drainage and aeration. However, sandy soil does not retain water and nutrients well, making it less fertile. As a result, most plants do not grow best in soil with large amounts of sand alone.

2. Humus: Humus is the organic component of soil that is formed by the decomposition of plant and animal matter. It is rich in nutrients and helps retain moisture in the soil. Humus improves soil structure, fertility, and nutrient availability, making it beneficial for plant growth.

Ideal soil composition: Most plants thrive in loamy soil, which is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, along with a good amount of organic matter (humus). Loamy soil provides a balanced combination of good drainage and nutrient retention. It has a loose structure, allowing roots to penetrate easily and access water and nutrients.

To determine the best soil composition for a specific plant, it is essential to consider the plant's specific requirements, such as its native habitat, water needs, and nutrient preferences. Some plants, like cacti and succulents, prefer well-drained sandy soil, while others, like ferns and certain vegetables, require soil rich in organic matter.

It is always a good practice to perform a soil test to analyze the composition and pH level of your soil. This will provide specific recommendations for amendments or adjustments required to create an ideal growing environment for your plants.
