Cacti are very fascinating for their whimsical plant forms, strange, fantastic and ever changing shapes, remarkable range of sizes, attractive spines and hair and for their delicate flowers
They are neither difficult nor demanding in their requirement and even in a limited space one can grow large number of cacti
The family cactaceae developed a complex organ spirally arranged over the stern, which is common to all cactaceae, and not found in any other plant.
Areoles are the vital, growing area of cacti from which point branches, leaves if any, spines, wool, flowers, new joints etc., arise.
Stems are fleshy, with various shapes and sizes. They generally bear shallow but fleshy roots, sometimes well-developed tap-roots, occasionally tuberous.
