Opuntia Sunburst is a flowering cactus that is best known as Prickly pears due to its spines. They produce edible fruit and are eaten in Mexico. It is a drought-tolerant plant that requires a little water.

They prefer warm temperatures, although they are cold-tolerant as well. Just bring them indoors when the temperature drops below freezing point. Allow the soil to dry before watering them, and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent root rot.

You can propagate this plant via cuttings or seeds. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and a well-draining mix. You can plant them in pot and place them in an area where they can get enoug sunlight to thrive.

It is a great addition toyour collection of plants, especially if you have it displayed in a beautiful pot.

***

The Mature Opuntia Cochenillifera or Opuntia ‘Sunburst’ is native to Mexico, but is also cultivated across the Americas and Asia. The ‘Sunburst,’ form of this does not occur naturally in the wild but when cultivated in a nursery. Also known as Nopales, Paddle Cactus or Josephs Coat, this vibrant flat shaped cactus is known for its mottled, camouflage look. It is highly coveted by collectors. It has dark green and yellow markings, with pink margins. It forms clusters that can reach 4 feet in height and 4 feet in width. It is a semi spineless cactus and considered a very picturesque desert plant.

 

Cactus plants are among the hardiest, most drought-tolerant in the world and very easy to maintain, as long as they are planted in a porous cactus/succulent soil, given proper drainage, daily bright light, and not over watered. Water whenever the soil is very dry several inches below the surface. Water deeply, but don’t let them sit in wet soil, which can cause root rot.

 

You will receive 1 well-established, rooted plant, from an 8  inch diameter pot, sent bareroot and packaged with great care. It will be shipped via USPS Priority mail.

 

If you are ordering from an area with weather below 32 degrees, please consider purchasing a heat pack.
