Cacti, also known as "God's Hand," "Guanyin's Hand," "Emperor," "Fire Hand," and others, belong to the Cactaceae family. These are clump-forming succulent shrubs with branches that are broadly ovoid, ovoid-elliptical, or nearly circular at the top; flowers are radiate, with an ovoid receptacle; seeds are mostly flat and round, with slightly irregular edges, hairless, and pale yellow-brown. Cacti thrive in intense sunlight, tolerate heat, drought, and poor soil, and are highly resilient with an optimal growth temperature of 20-30°C. They are primarily distributed in arid regions of the southern and southeastern coastal areas of the United States, the West Indies, the Bermuda Islands, the northern part of South America, southern China, and tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia.
There are numerous types of cacti, with 70-110 genera and over 2,000 species worldwide. They can be categorized into: round fan cacti, segmental cacti, crab claw cacti (crab orchids), leafy forest cacti, and spherical cacti. They commonly grow in arid environments like deserts and are known as the "heroes of the desert," belonging to the category of succulents.

What are the benefits of keeping a cactus at home?

Air Purification

Growing cacti indoors can increase negative ions in the indoor air, making the air especially fresh and beneficial to health, and 2, absorb dust.

Cacti are experts at absorbing dust, and placing them in living spaces can greatly improve indoor air quality.

3, Nighttime Oxygen Bar.

Cacti adapt to the arid, hot climate of desert regions by closing their stomata during the day to prevent water evaporation, and then opening them at night to absorb moisture.CO₂Purified oxygen is called the "nighttime oxygen bar".
