Cactus Cactus On the balcony of my house, there is an inconspicuous pot of cactus. It was a birthday gift from my grandpa on my birthday. The body of the cactus is like a piece of emerald and a cute little hedgehog. It was wearing dark green clothes, and its whole body was covered with spikes like sewing needles. The thorns of the cactus are light red when they first grow, and turn black and red as they grow up. Its thorns are arranged in rows from the top to the roots in an orderly manner. It is not as delicate as a mimosa, which shyly lowers its head when touched by others. It uses a body of sharp needles as a weapon to protect itself. If you try to violate it with ill intentions, it is guaranteed to make you scream in pain. I remember one time, our family went on a trip for half a month. This makes me anxious, because I am afraid that the cactus will wither and die due to lack of water and exposure to sunlight. When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it looked more energetic than before. I was surprised why cacti can grow so well in an environment with very little water. I found the answer in the "Encyclopedia". It turns out that the cactus has a special ability. During the dry season, it can enter a dormant state without eating or drinking, minimizing the consumption of water and nutrients in the body; when the water is sufficient, it can very sensitively " "Wake up", the root system immediately becomes active, absorbs a large amount of water, and grows rapidly. I couldn't help but think of what my grandpa said when he gave me a cactus: Cactus can quickly adapt to the environment and grow tenaciously, whether in the scorching summer or the freezing winter. This is the quality your generation needs most. Cactus is not only tenacious in vitality, but also has many functions. It can be used as a medicinal material with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects; it can be cut into slices and brewed into a refreshing and delicious tea to quench your thirst; it can also be used as a bonsai for people to watch. The cactus inspires me to use my potential to grow bravely and tenaciously no matter how harsh the environment is. This is also the meaning of my grandfather giving me this cactus. I like cacti.
