Appu’s father plans on opening an Anthurium flower farm. He read that Anthurium plants require soils with good water absorption capacity along with good aeration. He has three choices: Clayey soil, Sandy Loam soil and coco peat (an artificial soil made from coconut husks). He took 50 g of each soil and determined the volume of water it absorbed. He also determined the soil particle size using a microscope and tabulated the results.

$\begin{matrix} Soil Type & Volume of water absorbed by 50g of soil & Particle size Clayey & 35 ml & 0.002 mm Sandy Loam & 15 ml & 1 mm Coco Peat & 350 ml & 1 mm \end{matrix}$

Which soil should Appu’s father choose?
