Cacti are known as the hero flowers of the desert, easy to grow and beautiful

There are a great many kinds of cacti: the world has more than 100 genera and over 2,000 species. They grow in dry desert environments and are also called "hero flowers of the desert." They are a type of succulent plant as well, and this kind can also bloom many flowers at once. They all share one common trait: either they do not bloom at all, or they bloom dozens of flowers at once

But when cultivated, this kind of cactus does not bloom much; even if it does bloom, it is only one or two flowers. For Echinocereus blooms, the literature says the flowers are both beautiful and long-lasting, but even after growing them for decades you may never see a flower, because only old plants bloom, the winter temperature must be high, and ultraviolet light must be sufficient. Get these two conditions, and it will bloom

Cactus flower colors are also extremely varied. Many kinds have petals with a metallic sheen, very eye-catching. The flowering period is generally from March to May, and few bloom in autumn, though some are grafted in spring and then bloom in autumn. Christmas cactus, Mammillaria hahniana, and white-haired cactus, among others, can bloom in winter, adding a bit of life to the cold winter
