What plants are suitable for growing in sandy soil?

Sandy soil has strong air permeability and drainage, and the soil is loose, but the organic matter content is low, the water and fertilizer retention capacity is poor, and the water evaporates quickly. It is suitable for planting some plants that like sandy soil and are tolerant to barrenness, such as desert rose, tiger skin plant, cactus, keel flower, poplar, du Ying, sedum, grape, and tamarisk.

1. Desert Rose

The desert rose has a well-developed root system and requires the soil to be highly breathable. Sandy soil just has a certain degree of air permeability and drainage, which meets the needs of the desert rose. Moreover, if the desert rose is watered too much, it will not cause root rot due to water accumulation.

2. Tiger Skin Orchid

The soil requirements for the growth of Sansevieria are relatively low. It only needs to be loose, fertile and breathable. Sandy soil and humus soil are enough. Adding appropriate amounts of rotten branches and leaves to the soil can keep the soil soft and moist, and promote the growth and development of its roots.

3. Cactus

Cactus is a plant with extremely strong vitality and can survive in a desert environment, so sandy soil can meet the cactus's needs for soil. It also has certain air permeability and drainage properties, so the nutrient supply to the cactus is relatively sufficient.

4. Dragon bone flower

Dragon bone flower has a very strong adaptability and is not demanding on the soil. Ordinary sandy soil is sufficient and no substance needs to be added. The nutrients in the sandy soil can be absorbed by the dragon bone flower. After planting, just water it thoroughly.
