Either is correct: cactuses' or cacti's.

The apostrophe only is used when a plural is formed by S or ES, to indicate that an additional S sound is not added. When a plural does not end in S, the ordinary possessive (apostrophe-S) is used.

Both cactuses and cacti are acceptable plurals for cactus.
