A member of the Cactaceae family of plants is a cactus. Through Latin, the word “cactus” is derived from an Ancient Greek term that Theophrastus first gave to a prickly shrub. There is a vast variety of forms and sizes among cacti. With the exception of Rhipsalis baccifera, which is also present in Africa and Sri Lanka, they are indigenous to the Americas, which stretch from Patagonia in the south to sections of western Canada in the north. Because of their adaption, cacti can survive in very dry conditions, such as the Atacama Desert, which is among the driest locations on Earth. Cacti have several adaptations to save water as a result.
