Cactus Flower block in Minecraft

Added in 1.21.5 Stack size: 64

The Cactus Flower is a small pink flower that blooms on top of cacti.

It can be composted: each one has a 30% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

A growing Cactus can sprout a flower on its top instead of another cactus block. Pick it for Pink Dye, or plant it back on a cactus or on the ground; bees love it and endermen can pick it up. It is a nice touch for desert gardens.
