The leaves have evolved into spines, which alsoallow less water to evaporate than regular leaves, and defend the cactus against animals. Photosynthesis is carried out by enlarged stems, which also store water. Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of a true cactus where this takes place. Very few members of the cactus family have leaves, and when present these are usually rudimentary and soon fall off; they are typically awl-shaped and very small.

Cacti come in many varieties in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Some grow to great size. Some cacti produce beautiful flowers, which like spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night-blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range from small and round to pole-like and tall, such as the Saguaro. A number of cactus species are cultivated for use as houseplants, as well as for ornamental gardens.
