This diverse genus grow through out the western United States and parts of Mexico. They grow in a wide range of soil, temperature and light conditions, but most of them grow in mountain regions. There are a lot of different shapes sizes and spine colors in this group and a wide range of flower colors too. Many of them will flower well as house plants and they usually form a distinct ring of small flowers around the top of the stems. Some of them grow as a singular stem while others will spread with offsetting shoots, and as house plants many species grow faster than many other globular varieties.
