Ornamental cacti come in a wide variety of species, with over 2,500 worldwide. They have unique shapes, vibrant flowers, and dazzling colors, truly breathtaking. In terms of form, they include spherical, cylindrical, whip-shaped, drum-shaped, bell-shaped, and more. Cacti not only have ornamental value but also many varieties, especially Mammillaria, Aloe, and Dragon Fruit, also have high edible and medicinal value. Therefore, while this book focuses on the cultivation and ornamental value of cacti, it also appropriately introduces their edible and medicinal uses, aiming to achieve a dual purpose of "cultivation and use." This allows cactus cultivators to gain multiple benefits and improve economic efficiency.
