My family's prickly pear

On the window sill of my house, there is a pot of green prickly pears.

This pot of prickly pear has lived with us for a few years, and I really like it. It's not at all squeaky, even if you forget to water it for a few days, it won't blame you, it's still alive.

When the prickly pear just came to my house, only my small fist was so big, now its body diameter; it has grown to 15 centimeters. Its body is round and like a small football. The whole body is covered with a thorn like a pin. Don't underestimate these thorns, as long as you don't pay attention to it, it will puncture you with no politeness, I can feel this way, it hurts!

The prickly pear has become a "mother", and four small cactus balls of the size of a glass ball are drilled under the body. We are about to divide them.

I am very surprised, why the vitality of the prickly pear is so tenacious!
