Clay does help to hold in moisture, so in theory, this should give the roots of plants more water to soak up, leading to plant growth

However, clay can be difficult for roots to push through. Also, because clay does not drain well once saturated, it can cause roots to rot from excess water exposure and denial of oxygen to the roots.

most plants dont grow as well in hard clay. although if you have house plants, some clay can be beneficial as it holds water for a long time.
