Increases your maximum health and makes your flower toxic. Enemies hit by your flower will get poisoned

### Damage

5 (petal contact damage)
6 poison damage (Petal poison)
40 poison damage (body damage)

### Special

Gives extra health, Grants poison body damage

The **Cactus (Epic)** is an epic petal in florr.io. It increases your maximum health and makes flowers get poisoned upon contact with your body.

## Appearance

It looks like the cactus petal, but it's purple. It is an eight-sided petal. The sides curve in a little toward the center. The petal has a light purple circle in the center surrounded by a slightly darker region. The petal is outlined in a dark purple area.

## Function

**Damage:** 5 HP (contact)

6 HP (petal contact poison damage at a rate of 9 HP per second)

40 HP (body contact poison damage at a rate of 9 HP per second)

**Durability:** 15 HP

**Respawn Time:** 1 sec

Increases the maximum health of the flower by 20 HP and makes your flower poisonous. This means that any enemy flower that touches your flower becomes poisoned. Does poison damage which lasts about 4.4 seconds for body damage (40 total damage) and 0.67 seconds total for contact with the petal (6 total damage). Poison effects do not stack but maximum health does.

Both effects are still present even if the petal is respawning but not if you're unable to attack in an over-leveled zone.

## Drops

### Obtaining

It's really good, but hard to get:

* You can farm cacti for this, but beware as by level 30, you will no longer be able to farm Cactus (Mob) for this petal. It is also very rarely dropped and requires a lot of luck.
* The best way to get this petal is by killing others who have it. But avoid ramming at all costs, and have strong petals like irises and stingers as well as roses for good healing to fight them.
* There is a high chance of finding someone who has this petal in hard or ??? zones, so use them to an advantage of getting this. Sometimes, there might be a player in medium having it.

## Strategy

### Using

* Replace any cacti you have with this since it's an upgraded version of the cactus.
* This petal works well with the rammer build since it increases your max heath and causes enemy flowers to be poisoned.
	+ With that being said, bubbles work well with this petal (see picture to left and below).
	+ (Preference based) It should not be used with more than two roses (or triplet roses) because it increases max health.
* This works well in a survivalist as players may get poisoned upon contact while trying to kill you.

### Against

* It's best to use wings as you don't want to get hit. Ranged petals also work well.
* Quick-Healing is a must when you want to fight rammers with the petal.

## Trivia

* The petal itself also deals poison damage, but it is not that strong. The damage dealt from the flower is more.
* This, along with Triplet, Corn and Rice, are the only epic petals that drop from common mobs.
* It is one of two petals to deal damage without physical contact to the petal, the other being Salt.
* This petal is commonly referred to as a poisctus (poison cactus), purcactus (purple cactus) or E cactus (epic cactus)
