Yes, bleach in sufficient quantities kills cactus plants. Bleach contains a form of chlorine, which is used to kill germs in water. Diluted bleach is one of the gardener's remedies for plant and soil problems. But the bleach must be very much diluted, used in very small amounts, and applied very irregularly to cause more good than harm.
