Cacti are one of my favorite types of plants to grow inside all year and outside in summer. Unfortunately, the ambient air tends to stay moist during most seasons, a condition which makes cacti unhappy. Cactus potting soil can enhance drainage, increase evaporation and provide the dry conditions that cacti favor.
Cactus is a modified evergreen plant that grows easily under semi-arid and desert climates. Cactus leaves are actually flat, oval, and pad-shape stems but misinterpreted as leaves. On the cactus plant, its segmented stems stack one over the other in odd angles arising directly from the root.actus is a modified evergreen plant that grows easily under semi-arid and desert climates.
