The life cycle of a jumping cholla cactus typically begins with pollination by insects, followed by the development of seeds inside the fruit. Seeds are dispersed when the fruit dries and breaks open, allowing them to be carried by wind or animals to new locations where they can germinate and grow into new cacti. The cycle then repeats as the new plants mature and produce flowers for pollination.

The jumping cholla (Cylindropuntia fulgida) has several adaptations that help it thrive in arid environments. Its segmented stem allows for easy detachment of its pads, which can root themselves in new locations, effectively aiding in reproduction and spreading. The plant's spines, modified leaves, provide protection from herbivores and minimize water loss by reducing airflow around the stem. Additionally, the jumping cholla's ability to photosynthesize effectively in high temperatures helps it survive in harsh desert conditions.
Javalina, deer, rabbits, and even humans eat cactus. Various birds eat the fruit of the Saguaro and Prickly pear. Insects, birds, and bats pollinate the cactus.
