Cactus Gardening

actually, they are fall in the category of analogous groups. as they do the same function but have different structure.

All parts of the bugle weed that grow above ground are used in herbal medicine. It is collected in early spring before the flower buds open. The entire plant is dried and pulverized.

live in the desert

Yes, because based on research, cactus has an ability to lessen the radiation from computer, so best if you'll be putting a cactus beside of your computer.

they have 73 toes

Saguaro can freeze. Frost collects on them until they are thought of as frozen.

You don't. The S.S. Cactus is the name of the Abandoned Ship on Route 108. You use HM Surf to get there and then HM Dive to fully explore. You can't ride the ship though.

The saguaro cactus is a native of the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.

one thing you can do is throw bowling water to the roots (bottom of the cactus) another thing you can do is throw some dirty car oil to the roots
Dig it out from the roots.

Only if they fall on you.

Rooting Epiphyllum cuttings is easy, you just plant in soil mix and mist the stems for 3-4 weeks until growth appears then water the soil.

The stem segments of this plant are loosely attached so when a person or animal lightly brushes the plant the segment detaches and attaches to whatever brushed the plant. The spines are barbed much like a fishhook so the segments are difficult to remove without tearing the flesh. It seems that the cholla 'jumped' when in actuality it did not.

I water my Mammillaria cacti once the soil has dried out completely. This is recommended for all cacti, it is better to water them not as often rather than regularly because if you get root rot then your cacti will die.

Some people report that spraying the cactus with acetone will damage the cells enough to kill it when done repeatedly. However, most people with an overgrowth say that just digging them up or using a tool called a "cactus kicker" is much quicker and more effective.

it just drinks water like other plants do

They were discovered by a video of them singing the national anthem at a Texas Tech basketball game in 2008 posted on by YouTube by the youngest member's granfather.

The tip of a cactus is where growth occurs in a cactus plant. If this is badly damaged the plant may die or begin to grow elsewhere in the plant giving the plant an abnormal appearance.

There are a number of species of cacti that bend towards the sun but the best known are several varieties of barrel cacti.

A feeling of extreme nervousness.

cacti bear edible fruit such as the prickly pear and hylocereus which produces dragon fruit or pitaya.

None! Cacti grow spines instead of leaves.

yes, it stores water inside them because the desert has no water etc.....

That would depend upon the species. Small cacti would take years to absorb that amount of water but a large, thirsty saguaro could absorb that in a few days.

A cactus is a plant, a dicot.

If it is brown and squishy, then your cactus is rotting (overwatering is usually the problem). If the skin is dry looking, maybe with cracks in it, then your young saguaro is sunburned! Even though it is a desert plant, an immature cactus doesn't have the root system or water reserve to take severe, direct sunlight. That's why in the wild, young cacti are found growing in the partial shade of desert shrubs like creosote. Greenhouse grown cacti have been sheltered and often come with a tag advising you to expose them to direct sunlight gradually. You can drape a light cloth over them to provide some artificial shade. Sunburned cacti can still survive, but the scar will always show.
