I do grow cactus, but in my desert garden. They do require our full sun,
well most do anyway. I do have Iris in part shade, in fact most of my
gardens are in part shade at different parts of the day. I need plants for
dry shade. I water every day but the hot air and wind evaporate it quickly
and the sandy soil lets the water run through fast and it also doesn't hold
onto the water well. I am amending and it is getting better.
