You are purchasing two (2) fresh, healthy pads of the Opuntia Prickly Pear cactus. This specific variety is "near-spineless," meaning the majority of the pad is smooth, but some small spines or glochids (tiny bristles) may be present.
Important Note on Spines:
While this variety is much easier to handle than standard prickly pears, it is not 100% spineless. About 80% of the surface is smooth, but we recommend using tongs or gloves when handling just to be safe!
What You Will Receive:
• Quantity: 2 Freshly Cut Pads.
• Size: 5 to 10 inches in length.
• Hardiness: Extremely drought-tolerant and fast-growing.
• Use: Excellent for low-maintenance landscaping or as a hardy indoor potted plant.
Planting Tips:
These pads are cut fresh. We recommend letting the bottom edge dry (callous) for 3–5 days before planting in sandy, well-draining soil.
