Click the link below to see our zone 9 cacti that like full sun! However, these aren't the only cacti that would work in zone 9. Hardier Opuntia would also work very well in zone 9, despite some being hardy down to zone 5.
Also, in zone 9b, there are tricks you can use to grow zone 10 cacti successfully. For instance, growing them near a house or other heated structure can provide them with enough heat to survive your coldest days in such a high zone. Covering them with a breathable sheet during the winter works well too. This works because cacti tend to be partially winter dormant so they won't stretch, despite the lack of light.
