Cacti are primarily plants found in the Americas. Some have been taken to other areas of the world and introduced where they quickly become noxious invasive plants. Various prickly pear species are the prime culprits.
Across the world preferably in dry deserts.
Australia does not have any native cacti, but introduced species, particularly the prickly pear, have spread to reach the fringes of the deserts. They were brought from the Americas and were either intentionally planted or escaped cultivation and have turned into a noxious invasive species. Australian deserts feature spinifex, a low, hardy, spiky grass, and low, hardy bushes such as saltbush and bluebush.
Cacti have fleshy stems to store water in arid environments, helping them survive long periods of drought. This adaptation allows cacti to minimize water loss and thrive in dry conditions, making them well-suited for deserts and other water-scarce habitats.
No, a barrel cactus and a saguaro are two different species of cacti. Barrel cacti are smaller, rounder cacti with ribs and spines all around, while saguaros are taller, columnar cacti with arms that grow as they age. Both are native to the deserts of the Americas, but they have distinct characteristics.
Cacti are typically found in arid and semi-arid regions, such as deserts and dry grasslands. They are well-adapted to thrive in high temperatures and low rainfall conditions.

No, cacti are natives of the American deserts only. They do not grow elsewhere naturally unless they have been planted there. When planted outside the Americas they can become a noxious invasive species. especially the various species of prickly pear.
