# Hactus

{% hint style="warning" %}
We no-longer have the resources for concrete production, but still have Hactus PCB sets for sale. A 3MF and STL file are provided for you to print the pots yourself. You can also place the Hactus in the ground next to your real plants!!!

## Summary

The Hactus is a manufacturable and functional art piece by Chloe Madison (@clomads) that embodies the visual of a cactus succulent using two interlocking PCB 'perfboards.' It also includes a flower pot intended for casting in concrete.
