Answer to Question 1

One that is planted in a medium with large proportion of coarse aggregate because the water-holding capacity is less

Answer to Question 2

The water will be reabsorbed into the medium and keep it too wet. This can cause root rot.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
