Where can you find a diagram of a saguaro cactus?
I don't think there is one, but here's all I can say: -The fruit on the cactus is called a fig. -In late spring, flowers bloom on the cactus arms. -The trunk of the saguaro is the stem. -Inside the cactus, there are tubes that run water through the plant. -There are spiky needles on the outside. -Sometimes, the cactus is crested, where the top is in a fan-like shape. Biologists fight over why.
Why do saguaro cactus arms fall off and what impact does this have on the overall health of the cactus?
Saguaro cactus arms fall off due to damage, disease, or old age. This can impact the cactus by reducing its ability to photosynthesize, reproduce, and store water, ultimately affecting its overall health and survival.

Why is my cactus growing arms?
Cacti grow arms, also known as branches or paddles, as a natural response to environmental conditions such as light exposure and water availability. This growth allows the cactus to maximize its ability to photosynthesize and thrive in its surroundings.

What are the types of plant for cactus plant?
There are many different kinds of cactus plants.For example, one stereotypical image of a cactus is of a plant that grows at ground level. In fact, some cactus plants grow high up in trees. Such cacti are called "epiphytic" because they grow "in the air" well above ground. For example, the epiphytic rat's tail (Aporocactusspp), orchid (Epiphyllum spp) and wickerwork (Selenicereus spp) cactus plants have airy roots that prefer to grow without soil.Another stereotypical image of a cactus is of a smaller version of the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea), which grows into a towering 40 foot/12 meter column with branching arms. But that distinct profile is not the only shape that a cactus plant can assume. Some examples of different cactus shapes are the following:1. The living rock or fossil cactus (Ariocarpus spp) takes on a rosette form. Most often, it is found growing underground.2. The torch cactus (Cleistocactus spp) grows many ground-hugging, branching arms. The prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp) also sports branching arms that look like fleshy pads.3. The spineless Astrophytum is an example of one of the rotund types of cactus plants. Another example is the barrel cactus (Ferocactus spp), which looks exactly the way in which it is described. The chin or spider (Gymnocalycium spp) and pincushion (Mammillaria spp) cactus plants are shaped like globes. The globe-like Turk's cap cactus (Melocactus spp) has a densely spined crown that must be seen to be believed.4. The Barbados gooseberry or rose cactus (Pereskia spp) grows as a bush, climber or tree.Some other surprises in the cactus plant world are the beehive (Coryphantha spp) and agave (Leuchtenbergia principis) cactus plants. Both plants lack the stereotypically spreading, shallow, fibrous roots that are the hallmark of cactus plants. Instead, agave and beehive cactus plants have roots that look like some of our tuberous vegetables.Still another surprise is the yellow peanut cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus f. lutea). This cactus always has a color that falls within the yellow range of the spectrum. The reason lies in the plant's lack of chlorophyll. In fact, it has to be grafted onto a green cactus in order to get energizing photosynthetic products that green plants take for granted.
How much water do Hudson Pear cactus plants hold?
As much as 90% and more of the weight of a Hudson pear cactus [Cylindropuntia rosea] can be devoted to water related activities. The Hudson pear cactus has stems and branching arms that contract and expand. The flexibility enables the cactus to make room for changing amounts of water and watery products and solutions inside.
