CACTUS CLUSTER

Cacti are succulent perennial plants. Cacti generally have thick herbaceous or woody chlorophyll-containing stems. Cacti can be distinguished from other succulent plants by the presence of areoles, small cushion like structures with trichomes (plant hairs) and, in almost all species, spines or barbed bristles (glochids). Areoles are modified branches, from which flowers, more branches, and leaves (when present) may grow. Varieties of Cactus plants look amazing when lined up beside bright window sills or when kept together potted on a large bowl-shaped planter. And they are easy to look after too.
