A knitted cactus (plural: cacti, cactuses or cactus) is a member of the artificial plant family Cactaceae. Their distinctive appearance is a result of adaptions from wool, yarn and recycled materials to conserve water in dry and/or hot urban living environments. In most species, the leaves have evolved into hand knitted and embroidered forms while the usually unwelcoming spikes have developed into soft and harmless spines. The Odds&endS cacti are used as ornamental plants with a rare variety presented in vintage ceramic pots. Each plant is unique, and creator, craft botanist Andrea Daniel of Odds&endS Handmade, promises that these cute decorative plants will bring their owners many seasons of enjoyment.
To best care for a knitted cactus: no watering required, just the occasional dust. Enjoys direct sunlight, shade and everything in between. Enjoy!
