Medium Prickly Pear Cactus

?

Commonly known as the Beavertail Cactus. or the Paddle Cactus. this spiky. slow-growing plant is native to rocky areas of America. With its round. deep green. flat leaves. this bushy. succulent shrub is sure to bring a desert feel to your space!

Lighting

This plant originates from the desert. so naturally they would need some sort of sunlight. Keep it - minimum- indirect bright light.

Watering

Think of a desert. you probably imagine cracking soils right? Mimic that with this plant. it tolerates a lot of drought but at the same time cannot stand too much water (wet feet is a bad feeling)?

Water once every month or so for a prickly pear this size. Water only when half of the soil is very very dry.
