    Would one of you experts identify this cacuts plant that I found in Israel. Any suggestions on how to take care of it would also be appreciated. I just brought it home and am trying nurture it so that it would grow in Florida.

    thank you

    Your cactus is not a cactus, it is a Sempervivum. Joe

    Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum. They don't like to freeze and are otherwise very easy to grow.
