Cactus

Cacti rank among nature's most resilient plants, perfectly adapted to survive extreme neglect and harsh conditions. These desert natives store water in their thick stems, allowing them to withstand weeks or even months without watering. Their waxy coating minimizes moisture loss, while spines provide shade and protection. Cacti thrive in bright light but tolerate low-light environments, growing slowly to conserve resources. From the petite bunny ears to towering saguaro, these low-maintenance survivors ask only for well-draining soil and occasional watering. Their ability to endure makes them ideal for forgetful gardeners or challenging spaces where other plants would perish.
