Were cactuses native to Japan?
Japan is long from north to south.
There are cold regions and warm regions.
We imagine cacti growing in Japan, but were they also found in Japan?
Since this article is about cactuses, I will look into whether they grew in Japan.
It turns out easily.
I looked it up online and found out easily.
There are no cactuses in Japan.
It seems to have been introduced from Portugal.
It seems to be in the 16th century.
Succulents growing in Japan
Cactuses are a type of succulent plant.
Since I found out that cacti did not grow in Japan, I will look into succulents instead.
It seems that a succulent plant called “Mannengusa” grows in Japan.
Mannengusa was named after its strong vitality, which seems to allow it to live for ten thousand years.
It seems that it has been in Japan for a long time.
Summary
Cactuses did not grow in Japan.
Instead, we have “Mannengusa”.
Don’t worry.
