Cactus seeds are often distributed by birds, which are attracted to the fruit. Germination occurs in the presence of sufficient water and warm temperatures.
After seed germination it can take several months for the basic barrel shape of the cactus seedling to become visible. It takes five to 10 years for small species to reach flowering size.
Flowering
If there has been sufficient rainfall, flowering occurs in most species during the spring, once temperatures are warm enough.
Most cacti are self-sterile, requiring pollen from a different individual plant. Depending on the cactus species, bees, wasps, beetles, butterflies, moths, birds and bats can pollinate cactus flowers.
Cactus fruits are seed-filled berries. They form at the base of the flowers and are often brightly colored and sweet to attract birds.
In cultivation, cactus plants can sometimes be induced to flower by keeping them in a dark place for up to six weeks and then providing light and water.
The cactus seed may be found within the fruit. It tends to germinate between 66 and 70-81 degrees Fahrenheit [19 - 21-27 degrees Celsius]. Germination tends to take about 2-4 weeks. A properly treated cactus plant may be of good size within 1-2 years of germination.
A minimum temperature of 66 degrees F/19 degrees C is needed for cactus seeds to germinate. Faster germination is the result when temperatures don't hover below 70-81 degrees F/21-27 degrees C. In the absence of cold drafts, damp, or wind chill, the seeds well may germinate in two to four weeks.

Cactus, like other plants, uses photosynthesis to get energy.
Germination
germination is when a plant is being to grow

Cactus plants use their stems for storage. So that's where starches are stored. In fact, stems are where a cactus plant stores everything. Other, non cactus plants may use their roots for storage. But cactus roots are much too fibrous and shallow.
A cactus competes with other plants for water.

electrolites in the water inhibit the plants ability to absorb water which is essencial for germination
The most popular plant living in the desert is cactus. There are different kinds of cactus, for example barrel cactus. There are other plants like grasses, shrubs, trees, and wildflowers.
Evaporation of water from plants is called transpiration.
