Cactoo is a cozy game about growing cacti. Raise a tiny seed into a cactus in full bloom, harvest its gems, discover 13 species and send your cactus miners deep into the Mine. NEW: THE MINE • Your cactus miners dig rocks for gems, Dew and seed cards, and keep digging while the game is closed. • Merge two miners of the same level into a stronger one. The seed bed grows new miners. • Find the keys to the gate, break the heart of the mine and go deeper, mine after mine. • Dress your miners in hats, lights and pickaxes from treasure chests. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap a gem or swipe across the gems to harvest them. • Spend gems on seed packs. The cards inside are random: a new species gets planted in your garden, and more cards of the same species help it grow to the next level. • Every plant has 15 levels, from Seed through Full Bloom to Eternal Bloom, where a gem geyser erupts every few hours. Higher levels bring more gem spots and more valuable gems. • Growing takes a little while, and your plants keep growing while the game is closed. • Earn Dew in the game when a plant grows a level, while harvesting and at streak milestones. Spend it on Golden packs or to speed up growth. YOUR STREAK FLAME Come back once a day for a gift (a seed pack), and watch your streak flame grow. Miss a day and an ice dome keeps it safe. You get a couple of domes right at the start. Streak milestones bring extra rewards. Reminders are gentle and can be turned off. 13 SPECIES TO DISCOVER Golden Barrel, Bunny Ears, Mexican Snowball, Rose Pincushion, Star Cactus, Living Stones, Moon Cactus, Queen of the Night and Crystal Saguaro, then Old Lady Cactus, Brain Cactus, Spiral Cactus and the Rainbow Cactus. Each one has its own rarity, growth speed and gems. CALM, NO PRESSURE • One-time purchase, the whole game is yours. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription. • Seed packs are bought only with gems and Dew earned in the game, never with real money. • Plays offline. • No account and no personal data collected. Your progress is saved on your phone. • English and Czech. Support: app@cactoo.cz Website: https://cactoo.cz/en/ ## Is Cactoo safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Cactoo. ## Is Cactoo legit?

Also new: • Cards burst straight out of the pack, and opening responds to your taps. • Small garden display fixes. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-26 A much bigger garden on large displays (the opened iPhone Duo, foldables and tablets): the cacti are far larger, in landscape you see the whole garden at once and in portrait a big front row. A remembered zoom-out no longer makes the garden tiny. Also new: • Smaller fixes and improvements. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-25 A better look on large displays (the opened iPhone Duo and tablets): cactus care, the Mine with a side panel, Upgrades, the Journal, Settings and your streak now use the whole screen. Also new: • Smaller fixes and improvements. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-23 New: a streak widget for your home screen. Add Cactoo next to your apps and watch your flame grow: every milestone brings a rarer cactus that grows from a seed to full bloom, each with its own scene, and the widget shows when today's gift is waiting. Also new: • Restoring from a backup is more reliable: the code now works even if copying changed the letter case at its start. • Smaller fixes and improvements. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-21 Every cactus now shows its rarity, from Common to Ancient: in your garden, in the plant detail and in the Collection. Also new: • Rarity badges in Seeds and in the pack summary, so you always know what you got. • Smaller fixes and improvements. ## More apps by Stanislav Svec - [Yes or No](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yes-or-no/id550978485) - [Svátky](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/svatky/id662909818) - [Svátky lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/svatky-lite/id662958593) - [Yes or No 2](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yes-or-no-2/id703866902) - [SaveMyTime](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/savemytime/id788315697) - [Latina na medicínu](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/latina-na-medicinu/id827216308) All apps by Stanislav Svec: https://appshunter.io/developer/519241392 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
