Did you know?

- A cactus can hold about 95% of its weight in water. So a tall cactus, weighing 4 tons and which is 80 years old (because cacti can live for up to 200 ) can contain up to 3.900 litres of water.

- The prickles on a cactus are in fact their leaves. Each prickle is a leaf which has been modified by nature and helps to protect the plant from herbivores. When they are very close together, they provide shade, protecting the cactus from the intense sun rays in the desert. The more intense the sunlight, the denser the leaves.

- One of the most commun types of cactus is called the mother in law's seat. Can you guess why?

- In winter, from October to March, they do not need watering because they are in repose. They dehydrate a little but it is a process they need in order to flower once more in spring. Remember that if you continue watering them, you will be forcing the plant not to carry out this repose period needed to flower more intensely.

- Agaves only flower once in their lifetime. When they do, they use up all the energy reserves in their leaves and stalks in order to produce a single flower and then they die.

- From blue agaves we get the pita rope and tequila plant.

- The peyote is a North American cactus whose close relative, the San Pedro, grows in the Andes and the Chamans use it in their religious ceremonies because they have hallucinatory properties.

-Many cacti are sensitive to low temperatures. They therefore require protection in winter.
