Highlights
Opuntia microdasys var. albospina: A must-have prickly pear cactus for any collection. The pad-like stems create offshoots that develop into a small bush. The white dots on the stems are glochids, or clusters of very fine barbs that can lodge in skin. Large, bright yellow to orange trumpet-like flowers sprout from the top of this cactus. This plant if fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
CAUTION: Opuntia species have fine, barbed bristles called glochids. Glochids easily detach and can become loose in the box during shipping. They will pierce skin and leather gloves, so use tongs when handling and see our Opuntia Care Guide for more tips.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
