Summary
“Encystment, the process of cyst formation, can function as a method for dispersal and as a way for an organism to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions.” - Wikipedia, “Microbial Cyst”
“Due to its aggressive nature, we don’t recommend intentionally adding Beggarticks to the garden. More times than not, it will show up voluntarily and you may choose to let it take up some space. However, a single plant can produce 3,000–6,000 seeds that are dispersed by WIND, water, and most often, by becoming attached to fur or clothing. If you don’t want them to take over your garden, you must be persistent in pulling the plants before they go to seed.” - Florida Wildflower Foundation, “Beggarticks”
The parasite encysts itself.
