Cacti cultivation is more like specialization in a part of gardening. So, those who are interested in gardening but are too lazy to take care can start growing cacti. There are different types of cacti and it is very easy to cultivate cacti as they do not need much attention.
Cacti are succulents (but not all succulents are cacti ) & spines are found on all true cacti. These spines grown from small tuft of hair or wool. This is known as an areole and is unique feature of this plant. No cacti have leaves except the Genus Pereskia.
Once your cacti starts growing then there is very little care to be taken.
Happy Cacti Cultivation.
