∙ 12y agoPlant cannot live in "sandy soil" (unless you're planting a cactus) because the highly concentrated sand won't sustain a plant's life. Sand cannot absorb water and many nutrients that a plant needs! Ultimately, the plant won't grow properly with the lack of necessities that the soil provides. I hope this helped!
