They use photosynthesis to produce food, they are producers!
Above the ground a cactus absorbs the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into sugars and other compounds. Below ground they have sophisticated root systems which enables them to collect water and nutrients, even from very poor soil conditions. When grown in pots, in special cactus soil, the occasional supplement of a weak fertiliser will help to regenerate the soil. Tomato fertilizer can be used, but at one-third of normal strength. However, the danger with cacti is overfeeding! They prefer arid conditions, and are more likely to flourish and flower when their environment is appropriately restrictive!

Can you drink the water from saguaro cactus plants?
It probably isn't a good idea to drink the water from the saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea]. A cactus plant tends to store its water in bitter or toxic forms. This discourages predators from raiding precious water supplies. So a wiser choice are the saguaro's fruits, flowers, and seeds as sources of nutrition and water. Particularly the fruits and the seeds are succulent sources of drink and food.
