DESCRIPTION
Another characterful cactus from the Americas, Prickly Pear (botanical name Opuntia) are known for their wide paddle shaped stems and colourful edible fruit. We think they make great aesthetic potted plants!
The Prickly Pear has wide green stem pads which are not in fact prickly. Like most cacti they grow fairly slowly, with new pads appearing from the side or top of the existing ones, often in a non-uniform manner and creating a haphazard, 'bolted on' look.
Watering is similar to other cacti and succulent types. Avoid overwatering or letting the plant sit in water. Allow it to completely dry out first before watering, usually once every 10-14 days. The Prickly Pear is best grown in direct light but it will also thrive indoors near a bright indirect light source.
Keep them well maintained with enough light and some nutrition and they may give you one of their eponymous fruits!
Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.

Plants
It’s completely normal for plants to experience a bit of stress when they arrive at a new home. This may show as slight wilting or a few yellowing leaves—nothing to worry about! It’s a temporary adjustment period as the plant settles into its new environment, and with the right care, it will quickly bounce back and thrive.
Just like us humans, plants aren’t perfect. They’re living things with their own unique character, and minor imperfections are a natural part of their life. What’s most important—and what we guarantee—is that your plant is healthy and ready to flourish with the proper care.
Just like when you're picking out a plant in person—there's always that moment of, "this one or that one looks nicer?"—each plant has its own unique charm. That's the beauty of nature!
On our end, we make that process easier for you. We work directly with trusted growers to select the best batches, and every plant goes through a 3-step quality check before it gets packed. If a plant doesn’t meet our health standards, we simply don’t send it out.
That’s what you get when shopping with us—healthy, happy plants that are ready to thrive in your space.
