1. Is a cactus a flower?Cactus is a succulent plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. As to whether it is a flower, it depends on personal understanding. Technically, flowers refer to the reproductive organs of plants, that is, flowers, so it can be considered that cacti are not flowers. In life, flowers are often referred to as flowering plants with ornamental value, or plants with ornamental value, so cactus can also be considered a flower. 2. What are the characteristics of cactus?1. Appearance characteristics: Most cacti grow in clusters or shrubs, with flat and thick internodes, obovate shape, waxy surface, and unique areoles with hard thorns. The thorns are brown, which means that its leaves have evolved into needles in order to reduce the area and thus reduce water evaporation. At the same time, the sharp thorns also serve as its protective shell to prevent thirsty animals from eating them. 2. Habit characteristics: As a succulent plant, cactus is particularly drought-resistant. Just think about its original growth place, the desert. When it rains, the cactus will grow many roots to absorb water. When it is dry, the roots of the cactus will wither to conserve water. So if you keep a cactus at home, it won't die if you forget to water it for a month. On the contrary, if you are diligent and water it frequently, it is easy to kill the cactus. |
