This monograph offers critical details of culturing cacti and the prerequisites, such as soil composition, moisture and duration of light regimes in an enclosed environment. The literature documents many unique species of this xerophytic flora which have evolved with a variety of adaptations. The plant that is no longer restricted to America and is under global demand for cultivation under varied climatic conditions is imposing challenges to the growers. The book while remarkably addressing the challenges in growing cacti away from their native habitat, also reflects the great interest and experience of the author over the years.
