Landscaping with cacti

Post by 7george »

For some reason we omit to mention and to show one of the most obvious and common uses of cacti: for landscaping. If this is possible in Alberta this means it is possible everywhere.

Last three are taken today. Not in my garden, mine is weeded and not so neat.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Your pictures are beautiful, but that's literally not true. There are no cactus species that can be used for landscaping in temperate rainforests or other very wet areas. Even with the very best drainage in the ground it is just too wet and cold when it rains more than 320 days a year.
