Did you know that cacti do not grow during the day? Cacti do not complete their nutrient cycle while expose to sunlight due to having an expose meristem which could be damaged from the intense sunlight of their natural environments. Instead they store the energy from the sun throughout the day, and complete their nutrient and growth cycles during the night where their meristem has a lower chance of being damaged!
