It was a big surprise for me to find this cactus on beaches in New Jersey.I brought one home to Toronto -trying to grow this cactus-like home plant. Thanks, Tyler for sharing valuable information.
I live in north Texas, found one of these with 3 nodes barely rooted on a walking trail. Picked it up, threw it in my trunk, and forgot about it for like 3 months. Rediscovered it, and put it in a pot of old soil from a dead rosemary plant I sprouted 3 years before. I've had it for a year, this thing has like 3 separate "branches" now, each one about 3 feet long. It's just growing in $4 hardware store top soil. I water it maybe 5 times a year. When I do water it though, I flood it out. It's potted in a container about 3x the volume of what is in the video, and I'll dump about 3/4 of a gallon of water into it. Other than that, it just sits there on the hot concrete, baking in the sun, chillin in 100+ degree weather. I only water it from July to September. After that, it just kinda hangs out and does whatever. Seems happy though.
I've just bought a Opuntia var santa rita. The purple/lilac colour is stunning, to me anyway lol. Have you eaten prickly pear? What does it taste like if you did?

I’ve got an oputunia and it just keep growing up and up it’s probably about 40cm long, what should I do?
I also have a very tall and thin prickly pear, maybe about 15 inches. Can I cut it off and let it callus over?
@@indygrammy Opuntias need lots of sun or they will etiolate.
I just bought one to day
Why are my prickly cacti g4owing like a vine. They are spreading all 9ver the window sill.
