Desert cacti are native to the arid, sun-baked regions of the Americas. They are characterized by their thick, rigid stems (spheres, columns, or pads) covered in spines, which are adaptations for extreme drought tolerance. Their primary purpose is to store water and protect themselves from intense sun, making their care requirements simple: maximum light and maximum neglect. Find our care guide here!
