Growing Information

The Prickly Pear cactus is a hardy succulent with flat green pads and an upright, spreading growth habit. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9 through 11. For best results, plant in full sun with well-draining cactus or sandy soil. Watering requirements are low; allow the soil to dry out between watering sessions. This cactus grows at a moderate rate and is well suited for container gardening or outdoor settings in warm climates.
