**Cactus** is a petal in florr.io. It increases the user's maximum health.

## Appearance

It is an eight sided petal. The sides aren't straight but curve in a little toward the center. The petal has a light green circle in the center surrounded by a slightly darker region. The petal is outlined in an even darker area.

## Function

Cacti increase the user's maximum health when equipped in such a way that the health percentage stays the same.

## Drops

### Purchasing

On certain days, the petal can be purchased in the Shop.

*Note: the price depends on how much money is spent. This table shows the prices assuming the lowest and highest amounts of money that can be spent. Also, the stars awarded per ad change depending on the player's highest rarity petal. The table shows the lowest per ad (1) and the highest per ad (3). For more information, go to this page: Stars*

## Strategy

* One with a tank build can choose switching between a cactus build and a healing build when safe for an exponentially faster heal, especially when base health is relatively low. The risk factor only goes when one is already low on health,and in most maps full of threats this is not recommended.
* Cacti are useful in tank builds where having extra HP is essential. When combined with strong healing petals, it creates a nearly impenetrable player. It's also good when paired with Salt since more damage can be reflected. All three of these combined are the staples of good tank builds designed to soak up a lot of damage.
* Cacti also have above average durability without the long respawn other high durability petals have, so they serve decently as protective petals.

### Garden

* Cacti allow the user to soak up more damage from incoming attacks, particularly Hornet swarms.
	+ When combined with Salt, the user can deal damage to the Hornets without directly attacking them via damage reflection. Players doing this need to bring a lot of healing too.

### Desert

* The Salt-Cactus combo works best against ranged mobs which Desert lacks, so it's not as useful. Still, more HP is more HP, and it can help players survive longer.

### Ocean

* Just as Cactus is good against Hornets (when paired with Salt), it's good against Jellyfish.

### PvP

#### Using

* Cactus is a good counter Salt spammers.
	+ A salt user can reflect up to 75% of all incoming damage, making it extremely risky to attack them. Using cactus will allow the attacker more breathing room.
* Cactus is itself good with Salt, causing opponents to take more reflected damage.
* It can also be used with Bubble and Cutter to create a ramming build that relies on body damage.
* Extra health does not mean extra healing, so be sure to bring healing petals.

### Against

* A Cactus user with healing petals is hard to take down. Healing can be countered with a Dandelion.
	+ Using poison petals such as the Iris increases the efficiency of this, dealing tons of damage over time.
* Cactus users will take longer to kill, but the Cactus itself lacks offensive power. Knowing this, the Cactus can be used as a weak point to attack.

## Trivia

	+ This is so strong that a player using this can withstand 3 Mythic Iris attacks (12,100 HP each) or 2 Mythic Stinger attacks (24,300 HP each).
