Hello everyone, my name is Cactus. I am a green bonsai that grows in a desert arid region. My stems are flattened and have many thorns growing on them, which are designed to adapt to the desert climate and reduce water evaporation. The stems become fat and fleshy because nutrients need to be stored during the rainy season.
In my eyes, the desert is so long, the golden sand is hot, and the sky seems very silent. The scorching sun didn't affect my life, because I also had a special ability: during the dry season, I could go into a dormant state without eating or drinking, and reduce the consumption of nutrients and water in my body to a minimum.
When the rainy season came, I was very sensitive to "wake up", and the root system immediately became active, absorbing a lot of water, so that the plant grew quickly and blossomed and fruited quickly.
The world is diverse and beautiful. Fish yearn for the sea, shrimp and crabs love streams, and flowers and plants are inseparable from soil and ......treesI don't pursue anything, what I love most is the big desert that accompanies me, the little raindrops that I chase and play, and the long white clouds in the sky, which are also my good friends. With them as my companions, I have untold joy.
I'm satisfied. I am a cactus, I am drought tolerant, an ornamental plant and also have medicinal properties. I love the sun and my vitality is very tenacious. Please remember me and love me and my partner, a green bonsai that grows in the arid region of the desert.

The stems are fleshy, globous, columnar or flattened, often jointed and branched, with special spines arranged in a spiral pattern, on which there are spines, hairs, glands or hooked hairs, flowers. The flowers are usually bisexual, radially symmetrical or bilaterally symmetrical, the calyx and petals are distinctly distinct or indistinguishable, the stamens are numerous, mostly born in the larynx of the flower, the ovary is superior, 1 chamber, ovules are numerous. The fruit is often fleshy berries.

In desert areas, many species of cacti grow, each with its own different morphology and characteristics. Here are some common cacti that may grow in the desert:
1.Cactus: This is one of the most common cacti, with a round or columnar appearance covered with sharp spines, and sometimes even red, yellow, and white flowers.
2.Butterfly cactus: This cactus has fan-shaped leaves that sometimes produce small side branches, mostly green in color. The flowers are about 10 cm in diameter, and some varieties produce brilliant colorful flowers.
3.Cactus: Often considered native to Mexico, this cactus has a spherical or hemispherical appearance with a surface covered in spines. The flowers open at the top and are white or yellow in color.
4.Ball Cactus: Very similar to the cactus, but the ball cactus is usually shorter and has dense surface spines.
This is just a small fraction of the cactus species that may grow in the desert, there are actually many other cactus species out there.

Summary. Hello, glad to answer for you. The reason why cacti grow in the desert is because the cactus can adapt to the living environment of the desert, and its unique internal structure makes it unique in the desert.
Hello, glad to answer for you. The reason why the cactus grows in the desert is because the cactus can adapt to the living environment of the desert, and its unique internal structure makes its unique internal structure, its leaves degenerate into needles, mainly to reduce the evaporation of water and improve the cactus's ability to survive in the desert. The majority of the stem is made up of thin-walled storage cells that contain mucus to protect the plant from water loss.
Its strong, well-developed root system, with lateral roots that stretch far and are distributed in the shallow layers of the soil, is good at collecting trace amounts of water, which is also an adaptation to arid environments.

Cactus is light-loving, drought-tolerant, and suitable for growing in medium-alkali and slightly alkaline soils. It is usually planted as a fence, the stem is used for yao, and the berries are sweet and sour.

Because cacti are able to adapt to the living environment of the desert.
Cacti have thick leaf stems made up of storage cells that contain mucinous substances that prevent water loss. So these leaves and stems actually store a lot of water, not that the cactus itself doesn't need water.
Cacti, which survive in the desert all year round, also develop adaptive characteristics, their branches are empty inside and filled with moisture. Secondly, the leaves of many plants are very flat and spread, which increases the area where water evaporates.
Cacti, on the other hand, have evolved their leaves into needle-like leaves, and these needle-like spines have a waxy layer on the surface, all of which are designed to reduce water evaporation. As a result, less water evaporates and more water is stored on your own.
Finally, the root system of cacti in the desert is very well developed and can reach tens of meters underground. They also have a strong ability to absorb water, which conserves a lot of water for them. At the same time, it is also an adaptation to an arid environment.

Summary. Cacti are adapted to grow in deserts, not always in deserts, but also in other arid areas.
Cacti are adapted to grow in deserts, not always in deserts, but also in other arid areas.
Cactaceae is a family of desert plants of the order Caryophyllus. In order to adapt to the desert water-scarce climate, the leaves evolve into short thorns, which can reduce water evaporation and prevent animals from swallowing. The stem evolves into a thick, watery shape; At the same time, it grows very large roots that absorb the most rainwater during heavy rains. There are currently nearly 2,000 species of plants in the cactus family.
According to relevant information, in 1540, after Columbus discovered the New World in 1496, cacti were first brought to Europe by seafarers from the Caribbean islands of South America, and in 1669 they were introduced to Japan. In the Botanical Dictionary published in England in 1840, there were 400 species of cactus cultivating. At that time, cactus flowers had been developed from wild introduction to artificial cultivation, and through horticultural cultivation, the original wild cactus had been improved into special ornamental flowers.

The cactus that is proudly placed in the wind and sand will also die Subtitle, write how tenacious the cactus is, write about the encounter of the cactus that does not protect the environment, and appeal to everyone at the end.
Cacti mostly grow in arid environments, and when the rainy season comes, their root system immediately becomes active, absorbing a lot of water, allowing the plant to grow quickly and flower and bear fruit quickly. During the dry season, it can go into a dormant state without eating or drinking, minimizing the consumption of nutrients and water in the body. >>>More
The story of the desert.
On January 7, 2001, the Beijing Evening News published the following news on the 12th page of the "China News" column, speculating on what kind of phenomenon this might be? >>>More
The story of the brave camel thorn is about children, do you know what the desert looks like? Legend has it that a long time ago, there were no plants in the desert, let alone animals, and the whole desert looked lifeless.
