Cactus plants can't be grown close together, because of their aggressive competition for soil water and nutrients. A cactus is used to being the main and most important vegetative form in the desert. It isn't used to sharing precious water with close neighbors. Two cactus plants that are grown very near to each other end up fighting over water rights. There's the chance that one will do far better than the other. In fact, there's even the possibility that one will survive and the other won't.
