How does a cactus grow in the Sahara?
A cactus isn't native to the Sahara Desert. One challenge is the sandy terrain, which may drain way too fast and hold not enough moisture for cactus plants. Another is represented by the high heat and light levels. Temperatures may be too wide ranging for a cactus plant's vulnerability to scorching and freezing at the extremes.Otherwise, it's possible that desert and jungle cactus plants may handle the most hospitable environments of desert oases. A jungle cactus may be able to find a tree on which to anchor, as it does in the subtropics and tropics. In this way, its airy roots are in the humid, shaded environment that they're used to in a jungle.Clarification:Cacti are natives of the Americas, they are not native to Africa.
Why are there no tall trees in the desert?
Desert environments typically have limited water availability, which affects plant growth. Tall trees require ample water to sustain their height and large root systems. In deserts, plants have adapted to conserve water, leading to the prevalence of shorter and drought-tolerant vegetation like shrubs and cacti.
