Cacti are popping up everywhere! From the patterns on your shirts and socks to gold bracelets at Cartier. Seems like we just can't get enough of these sweet, spiny, little plants. Over here at Rouvalis, we are totally into it. Of course, we have cactus and succulent plants on hand but that didn't feel like enough. We also have some cactus shaped candles, cactus patterned vases and even a cactus bottle opener! What can we say? These un-huggable plants have won us over.
