We are the generation of high expectations and sad results. We are the ones who prefer to follow our dreams, because we know that the reward is totally worth the hard road, and even if we have to live in a small apartment with little light, we make the best of it. This is how cacti took over the contemporary world. Goodbye to the large gardens full of flowers, today the cities lose their gray color thanks to those small (although sometimes not so), green and pointy friends.
In an unexpected turn of events, cacti have taken over windows, offices and gardens. People have even begun to experiment with carpentry to create a photo-worthy home for plants that, if previously considered just another specter of the desert, are now considered by some to be their great friends and confidantes.
Why can’t anyone resist her charm?
They are the easiest plants to maintain.
We went from having children to having pets and there are those who cannot even commit to a fish or another type of plant. But cacti do not need much care. Each one is different, but they usually need water every week or less, so they can be in your house without you having to worry about once again killing the plants on your watch. You can go several days without having to call someone to take care of them, and although many believe that their ability to survive is overestimated, the reality is that no other, even succulents, resists for so long without any care.
You can build amazing terrariums
Your cactus can live in simple environments, but the terrariums that accompany it don’t have to be without great design. There are terrariums that can speak about your personality, others that are minimalist or according to the style of your home, and there are even terrariums with high design and an exorbitant price. Here we tell you how you can make your own terrarium.
Clean the air in your house
We have already said that now it is normal to live in small apartments and not in large houses with gardens. The few windows that ventilate our home can have a great ally in cacti. In addition to killing airborne bacteria, they can also reduce radiation.
They are versatile
Succulents, maguey, with flower, nopales, with thorns, with prickly pears; The list goes on and on. The colors, textures, sizes and shapes mean that among several you can form a great collection that will fill your home with life.
Whether it is to decorate, clean the oxygen or start taking care of one of the things that needs less care to stay alive, cacti are great companions, especially for young people who live in small apartments. But we must warn you, you can start with one, but surely later you will have dozens and you will even want to go much deeper into the world of gardening.
