What happens to cactus plants growing in a temperate rainforest in northern California?

It depends upon whether the cactus falls into the desert or jungle vegetation group. A desert cactus definitely faces a challenge in a cool, humid coastal forest. The humidity tends to be too high for a desert cactus to survive. Depending upon the temperature range, a desert cactus may not adapt to the coastal forest's cooler temperatures. It's used to higher levels of heat and light, and lower levels of moisture and vegetative competition.
But depending once again upon the temperature extremes, a jungle cactus may fare better. It's used to greater vegetative competition; higher heat and moisture levels; and lower light levels. It also is used to growing up and around trees.
