Cactus are found in a wide range of shapes and sizes, most of the species are drought tolerant, sun loving and capable of surviving in extremely dry environments suh as Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth. Like succulents, cacti conserve water in their thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. These are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, rare plants are sold for very high prices.

All cactus are succulents and require least amount of water to survive as they store it in their fleshy leaves or stems. These are one of the best houseplants to grow in garden as they require less maintenance and offer an authentic touch to the garden.
