Best Answer

That is not true.

I lived in Mississippi and cactus grew there, even in the woods. We lived in the flat delta where it rained a lot and the ground could get quite soggy and we had a cactus growing in our yard.

Clarification:

There are cactus species that are native to grasslands, the rain forest, etc. They are not only found in the desert.
