Cactus is a world wide spread species and considered a desert plant. They are xerophytes and the US is considered the home of most of the varieties. They withstand high temperatures and grow quickly. They are good at adapting to very dry conditions and forgetting to water them or negligence rarely affects them. When they are properly attended to, they respond well and grow well. The trident cactus is a mark of the American desolate tracts.

The arid and tropical plants come in many varieties and show variations in size, shape, and color. From miniature cacti to giants, the spiky plants often belie their fanciful sounding names – triangle cactus, snake, saguaro, beehive, barrel, hedgehog, peyote, sea-urchin, column cactus, finger cactus, Christmas cactus, cactus orchid–to name a few
