Cactus are a group of plants that belong to the Cactaceae family.
They are native to the Americas and are known for their distinctive features, such as thick stems and spines.
Cacti are able to survive in extremely dry environments due to their ability to store water in their thick stems.
Cacti come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from small, ground-hugging plants to large, tree-like cacti.
Some cacti have large, colorful flowers that bloom for a short period of time each year.
Cacti are popular as houseplants due to their low maintenance needs and unique appearance.
Cacti are drought-tolerant and can survive long periods of dryness.
Cacti can be propagated by taking stem or leaf cuttings, or by seed.
Some cacti are protected by international laws due to over-collecting and habitat destruction.
Cacti are also used in traditional medicine and some species are known to have medicinal properties.
