Description
Cactus spines are produced from specialized structures called areoles, a kind of highly reduced branch. Areoles are an identifying feature of cacti. As well as spines, areoles give rise to flowers, which are usually tubular and multipetaled. Many cacti have short growing seasons and long dormancies and are able to react quickly to any rainfall, helped by an extensive but relatively shallow root system that quickly absorbs any water reaching the ground surface. Cactus stems are often ribbed or fluted, which allows them to expand and contract easily for quick water absorption after rain, followed by retention over long drought periods. Like other succulent plants, most cacti employ a special mechanism called "crassulacean acid metabolism" (CAM) as part of photosynthesis. Transpiration, during which carbon dioxide enters the plant and water escapes, does not take place during the day at the same time as photosynthesis, but instead occurs at night. The plant stores the carbon dioxide it takes in as malic acid, retaining it until daylight returns, and only then using it in photosynthesis. Because transpiration takes place during the cooler, more humid night hours, water loss is significantly reduced.

FAQs
What should I do after my plant arrives?
Unbox immediately, remove packaging, and place the plant in its new location. If the soil feels dry, water lightly and let it adjust for a couple of weeks.
Do I need to repot my plant right away?
No. Plants are shipped in nursery grow pots with proper drainage. Allow at least two weeks for your plant to acclimate before repotting into a decorative planter.

How much should I water my plant?
Watering varies by plant type. Generally, water every 7–10 days.
Use 300 ml for small plants and 500 ml for large plants to avoid overwatering.
