Hi, my name is Kathy and i just ran across this site and am glad I did! I was recently gifted some cacti from a very dear friend and don't have a clue what they are or how to care for them? I have houseplants but have never had cacti before other than aloe Vera. Looking forward to learning about and growing more.

Hello Kathy,
I too welcome you to this forum. There is a lot of information available here, ranging from general cultivation tips all the way to advice for plants that have fallen on hard times be it because of mites or insects, pathogens, or mistakes we have made when trying to grow cacti and other succulents.
I wish you lots of success growing these interesting plants.

Harald
