Cacti generally prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil for optimal growth.
Cacti generally prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil for optimal growth and health.
A natural growth of spines in the body.
Cacti do not absorb radiation in the same way that plants absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. Radiation exposure can harm cacti by causing mutations in their cells, which can lead to stunted growth or abnormal development.

Cacti generally grow slowly, with growth rates varying significantly depending on the species, environmental conditions, and care provided. On average, most cacti may grow anywhere from 1 to 3 inches per year under optimal conditions. Factors such as temperature, light, water, and soil quality can greatly influence their growth rate. Some species may take several years to mature, while others may exhibit faster growth in ideal environments.
In the desert, animals like desert tortoises, rabbits, and insects eat cacti. This impacts the ecosystem by controlling cacti population growth and providing food for other animals in the food chain.
Barrel cacti generally do not like sand and prefer rocky hillsides.
There are various species of cacti found in the Sahara Desert, but they are not as abundant as in other desert regions. The exact number of cacti in the Sahara Desert can vary due to factors such as climate change and environmental conditions affecting their growth and distribution.
Yes, ostriches can eat cacti, particularly the pads and fruits, which provide moisture and nutrients. Their strong beaks allow them to break down tough plant material. However, cacti are not a primary food source for ostriches; they typically prefer grasses, seeds, and other vegetation. In arid environments, they may consume cacti when other food options are scarce.
Then "Chascon" is probably the best name for it, unless you'd prefer something like "Spike" or "Tangles."
