Prickly Pear Plant

Opuntia
Prickly pear is a surprisingly simple cactus as they are easy and undemanding to grow. Its stems are divided into flat paddle-like segments that are approximately two to five inches long with a blue tint. Prickly pears are a cactus, so they need well-draining soil first and foremost. Plant in full sun in a sandy or gravely mix and go easy on the water. Also, don’t be alarmed if your plants appear to deflate during the winter—this is their normal response to dormancy, and they’ll plump back up in spring.
 
*Please note that the height of this plant varies between 30-40cm.
