TIL: You can grow cactus without water

[Red Purger]

I built some cactus farms in shek lands with the intent to farm them later, and noticed some time after that the cactus were growing without having been watered at all. I looked at the growth rate and it said 9%
They were about 40% grown and still had all 64 plants which means none of them had died despite never having been watered once. I always thought you had to water plants in order for them to grow but apparently with cactus plants you don't. Haven't tested this with any other plants yet.

the area must get local rain
this will water the crops for you.

Nah, Cactus farms do indeed have a special multiplier for lack of water. Every other plant doesn't grow at all without water, but cacti grow at 10% their normal speed.

Cactuars confirmed.
