Cactus is a very common potted plant in daily life. It has many types and is easy to maintain. It is a very popular flower species all year round.
The original habitat of cactus is mainly in desert areas, which makes it extremely drought-tolerant. It will not die without watering for a month or two, making it especially suitable for lazy people to care for.
Different varieties have their own unique appearances, which are very interesting. Here is a list of 5 common high-looking cacti, let’s take a look:
1. Dragon Tree
The dragon tree is a species of the genus Dragon Tree in the Cactaceae family.
Ordinary columnar cacti love to grow branches during the growth process. Cacti are different from ordinary flowers and plants. Basically, they are not pruned. Too many branches can easily make the overall plant shape messy and reduce the appreciation value. .
The Dragon Tree is very different. It basically doesn’t have too many branches and likes a pillar to grow taller and taller.
The Dragon Tree can grow to 3 to 5 meters tall, and it will look very domineering when placed at home.
2. Jinhu
I believe everyone does not know the Jinhu variety. This variety has been introduced to our country for decades.
This was the first cactus that the editor raised, and its seedlings can still be seen often at street flower stalls.
The sphere of golden amber is green, but it is covered with golden thorns, which is very beautiful.
As the seedlings grow older, the spheres of golden amber can grow to very large sizes, and are known as the giant among cactus.
3. Yellow hair palm
Yellow hair palm, when we go to the flower market, we can often see this kind of cactus in the small potted area.
