Category:Cactus

Every cactus on the wiki — members of the family Cactaceae. Cacti are New World stem succulents defined by the areole: the small felted cushion from which spines, branches and flowers all arise. It is the one feature that reliably separates a true cactus from a look-alike such as a spiny Euphorbia.

See Soil and potting mix and Watering for growing them, or start at the Main Page.
