Eastern Prickly Pear

Also called the Opuntia plant after the Ancient Greek city of Opus. When mature these cacti produce color flowers which grow into edible fruits. Cacti thrive in direct sunlight but can also grow in medium light as well. Since they are indigenous to the desert areas cacti prefer a dry environment. Water your cacti once every week or two and be sure the pot completely dries out between waters to prevent root rot.

Size Pot: 4 inches wide
