One adaptation of the prickly pear cactus [Opuntia spp] is its closeness to the ground. This proximity means that little moisture is loss on the way from the plant's water channeling spines, to the ground, and into the cactus' roots. Another adaptation is its defense mechanism, in the intimidating aspect and the painful impact of its barbed spines and bristles. Still another adaptation is the flexibility of its stem. The stem moves, processes and stores water, nutrient solutions, and energizing photosynthetic products. It gets larger with greater amounts of stored supplies, and smaller with lesser. Yet another is the spreading, shallow, fibrous nature of its roots. A cactus' roots are most effective and efficient in aggressively seeking out and capturing available soil moisture.
It is a cactus ... native to the southwestern deserts. The prickly pear fruit is actually edible, and some companies make jam out of it. Also adds great color and flavor to mixed drinks such as margarita and martini cocktails. Makes an incredibly refreshing non-alcoholic lemonade.

Depends upon type of plant .
Loamy soil is generally the best type of soil for most plants to grow easily. It has a good balance of sand, silt, and clay, allowing for adequate drainage and moisture retention. Additionally, loamy soil provides a good mix of nutrients for plant growth.
Sylvania bulbs are related to plant growing, but in the sense that they are light bulbs used for growing plants rather than a type of bulb which you plant and grow.
This greatly depends on the type of plant.
