Tall cactus photo.

 OH, HOW SHARP THINGS ARE!

 In the wild, thorns protect the cactus from herbivores, and also

help prevent water retention, reduce the surface area

of the plant directly exposed to air. In the house, thorns can be a problem. After moving the cactus, wrap it several times

with pages of glossy magazines. Then carefully put the

plant from the old pot to the new one.

 Be especially careful when dealing with glochids. These small jagged

thorns are irritating and difficult to see with the naked eye, which means they are very difficult to remove. If necessary, you can use tape or tweezers to

extract the glochids.

 Despite their thorniness, cacti are wonderful houseplants for both amateurs and experienced gardeners. Very

Small plants require so little care and grafting clothes

in the interior an element of a special sculptural style. Small groups of cacti and large compositions attract attention.
