Are you think of gardening and looking for a plant that isn't clingy and in constant need of attention and actually behaves itself, enduring some days you are too busy, making do with very little water while still maintaining that aesthetic appeal then the cactus is the plant for you.
Are you looking for an indoor plant you can just keep on a shelf and only have to care for on Saturdays when you actually have time, giving it just some water that last the entire week while cleaning, then the cactus is the plant for you.
Are you old and can't afford the disturbance, constant care and attention that's a traditional garden requires, with a pet that isn't all that burdensome and does it's business outside without giving you too much poop duty, then a cat and a cactus is the way to go.
We eat less, use less water, time runs a little faster as we grow older, been there done that, as enthusiasm wanes, We look for the stoic in our scenery, in quotidian habits, it isn't as fun, constantly sustaining life's humidity with precious emotions, tired and keeping it all inside, we rise to our succulent stems, rigid prickly, minding our own business and become a cactus, with a beautiful cacti garden just outside for portent and insignia.
