Cacti belong to the Cactaceae family. They originally come from the Americas, from southern Canada all the way to Patagonia, with one species also found in Africa. Today cacti are grown all over the world as ornamental plants.
Succulents are named for their thick, fleshy leaves – or, in plants that have no leaves, thick stems. This thickness lets them store water, as these plants come from dry regions.
Cacti need a warm, dry spot to grow. Having evolved in dry climates, they must hold on to and save water inside, which is why they have thick stems, no leaves and plenty of spines to protect them from animals that might try to eat them. Without leaves, photosynthesis takes place in the stem. A cactus has a shallow root system, so it should be protected from strong winds. Although cacti prefer hot, dry regions, they can also be grown in Europe's temperate climate.
The packet contains a mix of different cactus species.
For best results, combine with one of our fertilisers (use once a month after the first month from planting).
