16. Cactus, Why so spikey?

This week on Between Two Aroids on this week I talk about the Cactaceae, with around 137 genus and over 1400 genus they are a very diverse group. I will go over care, some specific genus, and fun facts about how they evolved to have these spines. I thought this would be a good topic to cover after my interview last week.
