A cactus tends to grow better in the ground when the outdoor environment most resembles its native habitat. But cactus plants are adaptable survivors and handle being in a container. A container becomes a problem when the soil isn't changed every couple of years, when the size is way too big for the plant, and when drainage holds either not enough or too much moisture.

Can cactus plants grow in dirt?

Yes, desert cactus plants can grow in dirt. But no, jungle cactus plants aren't used to growing out of the ground. They grow with their roots exposed to the air. In the jungle, the problem is the reverse of the desert. It's a situation of high moisture levels and low light. So jungle cactus plants root high up on tree trunks and branches to get closer to the filtered sunlight of the thick, dense, dark tropical forests.
