Cactus are one of nature's most resilient plants. Although they mostly grow in desert climates, these plants can adapt to different geographies and are known for their special water storage ability against arid conditions. Thanks to the fleshy tissue in their stems, they can retain water for a long time and thus survive even in areas with little rainfall. At the same time, their needle-shaped leaves minimize water loss and provide a natural defense mechanism against high temperatures.
The role of cactus in the ecosystem is also very important. Many animal species benefit from the shade provided by cactus and their water-containing tissues. In addition, the flowers of some species are an important source of nectar for bees, butterflies and birds. These plants contribute to biodiversity by creating a life-supporting ecosystem despite harsh environmental conditions. The fact that they are often preferred both in nature and in homes as ornamental plants is one of the biggest indicators of how adaptable and resilient cactus are.
