The Prickly Pear Cactus, scientifically known as Opuntia monacantha ‘Joseph's Coat’, is an instant icon. With its flat paddles are covered in thick, long spines, it could be pulled straight from an episode of Coyote and Roadrunner.
This resilient succulent thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and requires minimal watering, perfect for busy plant parents. Low maintenance and big style. It's a win-win.
NOTE: The cactus you receive may arrive with or without variegation, which refers to the unique patterns or streaks of lighter or darker color on the plant. Variegation occurs naturally and may vary from plant to plant, making each one special.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Small plants measure 5-8" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice
