Cactus seeds can only be planted in the cactus patch found in Al Kharid. They require level 55 Farming to plant. Growth time is approximately 9 hours. Players can harvest cactus spines from the mature plant.

As of 21 August 2012 update, Ayesha will look after your seed for 6 cadava berries.

Cactus seeds are dropped by Aberrant spectres, Cockroach soldiers, Dagannoth (Lighthouse), Desert strykewyrms, Ice giants, Moss giants, Ogres, Cave horrors and other monsters. They may be a reward for cremating vyre corpses, obtained by pickpocketing a Master Farmer or bought from the Vinesweeper minigame for 1200 points each.

You can make quite a decent profit from these, but there are much better and faster options at level 55 Farming and above. Thus it may be a good idea to plant one of these seeds and harvest the spines whenever you are in the area for profit, but not grow cacti for regular experience.
