Cholla cactus plants [Cylindropuntia spp] mainly get water from the soil. Their shallow, fibrous roots spread out to find and take in any available moisture in the soil. That moisture may be in the soil because of dew that drips from the plant, onto the ground, and into the soil. Or it may be in the soil because of a rain or snow fall event.
