Jumping cholla (Cylindropuntia fulgida) adapt to their arid desert environment through several key features. They possess a segmented structure that allows them to easily detach and propagate when touched, which helps them spread and survive in harsh conditions. Their spines not only deter herbivores but also minimize water loss by providing shade to the plant's surface. Additionally, their ability to store water in their tissues enables them to thrive despite prolonged droughts.

What is the life cycle of a jumping cholla?

The life cycle of a jumping cholla cactus typically begins with pollination by insects, followed by the development of seeds inside the fruit.

The cycle then repeats as the new plants mature and produce flowers for pollination.
