🌵 Cactus 🌵
🌱NZ is one of the many countries that is filled with natives, plants and trees. 🍃
🇳🇿In New Zealand we have a few cactuses. I have 4-6 pots of cactuses. 🇳🇿
🏜️ The African Desert is home to many beutiful cacti. Some cacti can survive with only 3ml of water a day ! 🏜️
Math Question : Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.
🌵Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
1 year = 365 days
the cacti needs 3ml a day
3 x 365 or 365 x 3
1 full year = 1095ml
Kia ora Licha,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing another awesome post. I love seeing all the emoji's that are in your signature. It makes your blog so bright and cheerful. It is great to see that you have posted so many activities. I cannot wait to see more coming through from you over the next few weeks.
I really appreciated the way you introuced the cacti and told us a little bit about them. You're absolutely right that the the cactus would need 1095 mls of water in a year to survive. It really isn't very much, is it? I did a bit of research myself, and due to the African desert often having one down pour of rain every few weeks, a cactus soaks up the water and stores it until the next downpour. This means it can feed itself the 3ml of water every day. What an intelligent plant that is.
I see that you have your own cacti, do you know what type of cacti you have? I have a few in my house too but unfortunately, I have no idea what type they are.
Keep up the awesome work, Licha.
Nga mihi,
Megan :)
