Opuntia macrocalyx | Prickly Pear
Height: 15cm
Pot size: 12cm (I fit in pots with an opening of 13cm+)
This fascinating cactus has large, round pads covered in polka-dots (their real name being 'areoles'). This cartoonish cactus is perfect for a sunny windowsill, requiring only occasional watering but looking picture-perfect year-round.
Care:
💧 Water whenever the soil is completely dry over spring/summer. In autumn/winter water do not water at all.
🌞 Full sun (a South-facing windowsill is best)
🐶🐱 The 'fur' is in fact small spines (hands off!) called glochids, best admired from afar
Your plant
I try my best to make sure my photos reflect what you will receive, however every plant is unique and so there will be some differences. Plants, like people, are all different, and that’s what makes them beautiful 🥰
