- When it dries, the anastatica curls up into a tight ball, allowing it to conserve moisture and survive the harsh desert conditions.
- Anastatica grows in a variety of environments, but it is typically found in dry areas where water is scarce.
- During times of drought, the anastatica plant will dry out completely, and its appearance changes, making it nearly unrecognizable.
