Cactaceae family
Cactus Plants in Nigeria
Cacti are the ultimate low-maintenance plants — sculptural, drought-proof, and available in shapes from globes to columns. Many reward patient owners with surprisingly vivid flowers.
Cacti are built for heat and strong sun, so they flourish outdoors in the North and on sunny balconies nationwide. They need almost no attention during the rainy season — just shelter from waterlogging.
