Reba wants to grow a plant in a pot. Why should she use potting soil instead of clay?

Potting soil absorbs the water. If you used clay, it would harden leaving your plant in a dire situation. The potting soil also has things like vitamins and minerals to help your plant stay healthy.

Hope this helps. :)
