You’ve probably wondered why cacti have these prickly thorns. Is it just a random phenomenon or do they have a very special function? In cacti, thorns are much more than just a protective covering. They play an important role in the survival of the plants in the extreme habitats in which they grow. And we hope you can answer this question correctly.

Cacti are true masters of water management. In the deserts where they are common, rainfall is sparse and irregular. Cacti therefore have to develop a method of storing water and using it over long periods of time. We ask you in the cactus quiz: Where exactly do they store the valuable water?

We also ask about the largest cactus in our cactus quiz. This giant cactus can reach a height of up to 18 meters, making it one of the largest cactus species in the world. But that’s not all – it is also known for its eye-catching arms, which take many years to grow. These spiky giants are mainly found in the hot desert regions of Arizona, Mexico and California. Do you know their name? And how old can cacti actually get? Are they like turtles and bacome real grandmothers and witnesses of world history? You will find it out, for sure!

You may have heard that cacti are succulents. But what exactly does that mean? Succulents are plants that have adapted particularly well to low-water habitats. And it is precisely this adaptation that makes cacti so unique.
