Cactus plants, known for their ability to thrive in arid environments, are characterized by water-storing tissues and often feature spiky, reduced leaves. Their striking and varied forms, from the iconic saguaro with towering arms to the compact barrel cactus, make them popular additions to arid gardens worldwide. Cacti have adapted to harsh conditions through unique water-saving mechanisms and have become symbolic not only for their resilience but also for their distinctive beauty in the plant kingdom.
