Are cacti more likely to regrow than to appear?
I'm farming cacti in terraria because I like to use them for building:
Currently, I leave the cacti "stumps" and only cut when they grow 2 tiles high. Is it good strategy? Are the one tile high cacti more likely to grow than spawn anew?
Note that this question is not limited to mobile version.
Best Answer
No, their growth rate isn't affected by their size. I did a few experiments by leaving my pc running for a while and cacti that are tree blocks high spawn a new block just as fast as cacti that are one or two blocks high. Of course there is a maximum height at which they stop growing.

Will a cactus grow back?
The answer is often yes. Spines may grow from other spots in the existing areoles. As long as there is continued growth overall on a healthy cactus plant, new areoles develop and new spines will grow.How fast do cactus spines grow?
Most cactus grow slowly, sprouting to the size of a large marble after 6-12 months, and to a few centimeters in height after 2-3 years, depending on the species. After this, most cacti grow 1-3 cm in height per year.How close do you have to be for cactus to grow Minecraft?
A cactus breaks itself (and drops as an item) if any block with a solid material, or lava, occupies any of the 4 horizontally adjacent blocks.How fast do cactus grow?
Most types of cactus plants grow very slowly. If being grown from seed, they might only reach a few centimeters in height after the first 2 or 3 years, depending on the species. From there, most cactus plants will grow about 1-3cm per year, with a few notable exceptions which can sometimes grow up to 15cm per year.5 COMMON MISTAKES IN CACTUS CARE
