Either is correct: cactuses' or cacti's.

Both cactuses and cacti are acceptable plurals for cactus.

Some words that come from Latin, such as cactus, stimulus, nucleus, and radius, still act as they did in Latin. That is, they form a plural by replacing the -us with -i. For some words (such as radius) the ordinary English rules of plurals are often used. Many words that end in -us (such as octopus) are not from Latin, but the -i plural is mistakenly applied.
Singular ends in -us/Plural ends in -i:
- alumnus/ alumni
- bacillus/ bacilli
- cactus/ cacti
- nucleus/ nuclei
- stimulus/ stimuli
- focus/ foci
- radius/ radii
- terminus/ termini
- villus/ villi
Of course to confuse the issue further, the English plural of "virus" is "viruses" not viri; and the word platypus forms the plurals platypus or platypuses, not platypi.
