Known for their distinctive ability to conserve water, these plants are well-adapted to survive in some of the harshest climates on earth. Featuring a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, cacti have developed thick, fleshy parts that store moisture, and a waxy surface that prevents water evaporation. Their sharp spines protect them from predators and help shade the plant from the sun. With over 1,750 known species, cacti are not only key components of desert ecosystems but have also become popular in home gardens worldwide.
