Yes, the cactus is an unusual plant. It tends to be grouped into two broad categories that are based on the biome in which it's found. One group is that of the desert cactus. This group is unusual for its successful survival in the harsh, extreme environment of strong sunlight and little moisture. The other group is that of the jungle cactus. This group is unusual for its successful survival in the enervating environment of much moisture and little direct sunlight.

How is it unusual for a cactus plant to grow in a coastal forest?

It's unusual for a desert cactus to grow in a cool, humidcoastal forest. The humidity tends to be too high for a desert cactus to survive. Depending upon the temperature range, it's possible that the desert cactus won't adapt to the coastal forest's cooler temperatures.A desert cactus is 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 not be so unusual. 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.
