The fruit they produce is really nice. I only have had it on holiday and it was one of the nicest fruits I’ve had. I love this cactus type as it looks beautiful and tastes a amazing as well as lots of seeds to regrow in the seeds.

Hi Lyn! Say well done to Hans for prouning this Opuntia 'The Prickly Pear' Cactus! He is like you Lyn, he is not afraid to touch those large spines! Anyway it looks better now and you have lots of smaller ones! Thanks for sharing Lyn! Have an amazing evening Lyn and Hans! Lots of love and happiness to you both!

I just happened to find a spineless opuntia pad tonight and searched for an idea on how to root it- and lovely Lynn pops up to save the day again!! I'm going to pot it up tomorrow.

I love your sunroom. I wish I had one like that.

Wow! That is great! I can see now where I made my mistakes a few years ago when trying to grow these. I didn't bury them deep enough and they kept getting top heavy and falling over, and I think my soil was a bit too loamy and couldn't support the weight. Every day I came outside to find them upended outside the soil. I might try it again. I just love these cacti. They're really beautiful when they get big with many pads on them and start blooming and bearing fruit!

By the way, I like to think about a plants natural instincts. The first pad was growing opposit and downward. All the other arms were growing opposite and up. Makes sense to me regarding balance. A small pot with a tall, lopsided plant might benefit from growths that go in the opposite direction.

Was that an psychedelic trip on mescaline?🤣

[emmitstewart]

I got a tip a while back about Opuntia cuttings. Instead of waiting for the cut end to callous, then sticking the cut end down into the soil, lay the pad on its side on damp soil with the cut end exposed. All the areoles on the bottom of the pad will send out roots. This is the way these cacti reproduce themselves in the wild when pads break off due to wind or animals eating part of the plant.
