What is the best way to plant soil dependent plants in Florida?

One of two things to try,consider container planting for less work of fighting the sandy soil or amend the sand with top soil,lime,and work in peat moss.

Found this on Google: http://floridayards.org/fyplants/ There are several other sites that address which plants grow well in Florida. One of my favorites is a foxtail fern.

As long as you amend the soil really well, there are a lot of plants that will take to the high heat and humidity in Florida. Just make sure you get the right plants for where you are planting, sun, shade, partial sun or shade. If you have a lanai, you can have beautiful plants with the humidity that builds in there, even palms. The screening seems to block a bit of the sun and that helps a lot of plants since it isn't as intense.

With lots of bags of Miracle Grow! I've lived here all my life and without the miracle grow.....nothing grows.

You need to find out what zone you are in before choosing any plants. Lots of plants in the South can handle a sandy soil, especially succulents/cactus family. It is usually best to check with a local flower nursery and also take a look at what your neighbors are successfully growing.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am willing to try them all!

I would think probably containers. Or special beds with plastic liners.
