*** About Cacti

***: Cacti are predominantly found in new world arid environments, with their thick, fleshy parts adapted to store water, enabling them to survive in harsh, dry conditions. These plants have a wide range of shapes and sizes, from the towering saguaro to the small, round peyote. The spines of cacti, often mistaken simply for thorns, are actually highly modified leaves that minimize water loss and protect the cactus from herbivores. Cacti also bloom with flowers, sometimes only at night, and their fruits can provide essential food for desert wildlife. Beyond their ecological roles, cacti have cultural significance in many Native American societies and are becoming increasingly popular in home decor for their ease of care and exotic appearance.
