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.
Cacti differ from other succulents by their areoles. These are small fluffy bumps on the body of the cactus.
Cacti do not need much water, so they can be grown in tea or coffee cups without drainage holes (use expanded clay on the bottom)
