Best Answer

Yes, a cactus is a houseplant. In fact, it's a good houseplant. It requires little or no attention during its dormant season. During its growing season, it tends to need no more fertilizing and watering than every 10-14 days. It adds beauty, cleanses the air, and demands little in return other than vigilance against chilling and overwatering.

Yes, cactus plants are good choices for houseplants in any environment in which they won't experience cold dampness. They're native to the deserts and jungles of North and Latin America. But whether desert or jungle in origin, the indoor cactus plant responds well to natural light from windows. It also responds well to regular fertilizing and watering every 10-14 days during the growing season, and none during dormancy.
