Shred has adopted a Cactus…

and plans on making a whole garden of cacti!

(the plural of cactus is cacti)

Cactus is a member of the plant family Cactaceae, and there are around 2000 known species.

They live in mostly dry climates, like deserts where there is very little water.

Cacti come in many shapes and sizes and sometimes have flowers.

Most plants of the cactus family have sharp spines, or needles.

You have to use great care in handling a cactus, and it is recommended to wear protective gloves.

Some gloves are made especially for working with a cactus.
