CACTUS: Cactus, the common name for a family of desert plants. The plural is cacti or cactuses. Most species bear sharp, needlelike spines, which protect the plants from foraging desert animals. Cacti are famed for their ability to resist drought, which they owe to the fact that moisture from inside the plant evaporates very slowly through the plant's skin.
Cacti grow in hundreds of different shapes. The fibrous, juicy stems may be globular, cylindrical, branched, trailing and vinelike, ribbed, grooved, or knob-bearing. Only two species have true leaves. The rest of the 2,000 species are leafless.
The Peanut Cactus (Chamaeceereus silvestrii) is native to Argentina. It is a very easy house plant to grow! Description: This well-known cactus is composed of clusters of initially erect, finger-sized stems that are pale green with numerous soft, white bristles. Established plants can reach a height of 6 in (15 cm) and width of 12 in (30 cm), with many crowded stems. From an early age it flowers freely indoors if conditions suit it, producing vivid orange-red blooms about 2 in (5 cm) in diameter in spring and summer.
Also makes an unusual bonsai!
Prefers full sun and water when dry.
