Cacti are beautiful thorny plants, which are normally seen
in the desert regions of America. It is surprising to note that even though
cactus thrives in the United States, most Americans don't even know the basics
of cactus identification process. This is the most important step involved in
cactus identification. These plants normally are fleshy from insides and
slightly woody from outsides. Most of them comprise of ribbed sides, which
normally provide shade for cactus. The cactus basically stays inert during the
winter season shedding fine roots and normally keeping their pores closed
during the night.
A man who makes the first steps in collecting cacti knows
only one word "cactus". I should say, he generously gives this name
to all plants that fit to his idea of the cactus. Even such plants as aloe,
havortia, euphorbia may also fall under this category. It often happens that
his young "cactus collection" comprises two thirds of non-cactus
plants. And when you tell him that they are not cactuses he doesn't believe.
Some time later, when the beginning cactus lover enlarges
his cactus collection, meets other collectors and gets more knowledge and
experience, he learns some popular names as saguaro cactus, prickly pear
cactus, rhipsalis, mamilaria and uses them correctly. Now he rarely confuses
saguaro with cylindrical prickly pear and becomes more confident in himself, as
well as more determined in his hobby.
One more step ahead and he begins to distinguish
selenicereus, echinocereus, eriocereus in the bulk of saguaro. But each of them
has its species. It seems impossible to keep them all in mind. The most important
thing here is to understand why two cactus specialists call the same cactus
plant differently and, vice versa, the same name is applied to different
cactuses. This very period is the most difficult for every cactus admirer. The
system of cactus names seems a complete muddle. Contrary to popular belief,
cacti are those plants, which can be easily identified. By following some
simple steps, anyone can identify a cactus plant. The first and foremost step
involved is the fact that cacti are those plant varieties, which are normally known
as "succulent plants in Dubai".
Only when you understand how different cactus plants inDubai are classified and learn the principles and criteria for this
classification, you begin to know you cactuses for real and become a true
cactus admirer. Only in this case you can buy plants online in Dubai and achieve
good results in collecting cacti. Because you should, or I'd rather say, you
must know which cacti you are exactly growing and caring for. You must know
their origin, their features and peculiarities, their preferences and whims.
