United StatesLove this type of cactus. It is a large piece and hopefully I planted it correctly. My goal is to transplant it outside once it starts to grow .
United StatesDidn’t know I was going to be receiving such a tall opuntia, thank you for this amazing beauty
United StatesI picked this cactus for its looks, the possibility of edible fruit, and the fact it is able to withstand being outside in the zone I live in. I ordered 2, work the intentions to give one as a gift, and I'm happy to say that one is already sprouting a new pad! One pad did fall off during transit, but I let it sit in a cool dark area for a few days before planting it about 2/3 in the soil. It worked great for pad I got as a gift from my dad.
United States United StatesGreat. They are always healthy and beautiful. I am always happy with my plants.
Opuntia Phaecantha (Tulip Prickly Pear) is a medium sized cactus. It matures to a shrub-like mounding form. The stems or joints attach to pads and can create quite a thicket over time. The spines are both persistent and thicker – short-term glochids set in areoles.
Joints are bluish-green but can develop a reddish tinge in cool weather. The bright, showy flowers develop into fruits called “tunas.” These are red to purple and as long as an index finger with juicy, sweet pulp. 
All of the plants may be shipped bare root.
The plant thrives in full to partial sun, in well-drained soil 
Water plants when the top 3 inches (7.6 cm.) of soil is dry to the touch. Minimize watering by half in winter.
