Cactus is a word incorporated into English from Latin wordTherefore, it does not follow the general rules of adding s or es to form its pluralIt simply replaces “us” with i.The plural of cactus can be either cacti (from the Latin plural) or the conventional English plural cactuses.“Cacti” is the Latin plural of cactus and “Cactuses” is the English plural although “cacti” has the edge.Similar words that are made plural this way are abacus (abaci), alumnus (alumni) and radius (radii)
