Frequently asked
Why do cacti have spines instead of leaves?
Cactus spines are actually modified leaves that help the plant survive in deserts. Spines reduce water loss by decreasing surface area and reflect intense sunlight to keep the plant cool. They also protect the cactus from animals trying to eat it for its precious water stores.
How do cacti store water for survival?
Cacti have thick, fleshy stems filled with specialized cells that store large amounts of water. One saguaro cactus can hold up to 200 gallons of water! This stored water allows cacti to survive for months without rain in extremely dry desert conditions.
What kind of flowers do cacti produce?
Cactus flowers are surprisingly beautiful, blooming in vibrant colors like pink, yellow, red, and purple. These flowers typically last only one day and bloom at night to attract nocturnal pollinators like bats and moths. Some cacti produce bright fruits that animals eat and help spread seeds.
