¡Buenos días don Jimi!
I wanted to show you sir the following picture; some folks use to 'just lie there' in the soil big leaves of nopal, —that usually by their own weight and age get to tear apart of the main trunk—. When they dry they turn concave so later when it rains it holds water for new leaves to grow later

And by the way, yes, the nopal in the back got sick by a worm that uses to barren the leaves (forgot the name right now...). Maybe that would be a disadvantage of humid weather that favors leave growing but also for other unwelcome guests; probably that problem is not so usual in the dry desert 😄
