Cacti are fleshy plants that belong to the Cactaceae family. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and textures. Some cacti have a globular or cylindrical appearance, while others can be tree-like, creeping, or columnar. They are often covered in spines, which can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the species. Cacti are hardy plants that prefer minimal watering. Due to their adaptation to arid environments, they can store large amounts of water in their tissues. It is essential to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Cacti prefer a bright location with direct sunlight. They require bright light for healthy growth. Place cacti near a south- or west-facing window to provide them with adequate sunlight.
