Editing Acanthosicyos horridus (section)

== Description ==

Naras is a desert plant described as about 1 m high and 2 m wide. Its native settings include sandy dunes and mostly dry river beds, where roots can reach subsurface water. <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup> <sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup>

The plant's arid habitat is important when interpreting cultivation guidance: free drainage, strong light, and a carefully managed dry-season water supply are more appropriate starting points than a continuously wet root zone. <sup>[[#cite_note-4|[4]]]</sup> <sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup>
