Highlights
Variegated Joseph's Coat Cuttings (Opuntia monacantha f. monstruosa variegata): Prickly pear cactus with interesting green and creamy white variegation, sometimes flushed with pink. The pad-like stems of this cactus create offshoots and stack up if given room to grow. This plant can take a bit more frequent water than most cacti, but does need full sun and excellent drainage to thrive.
Please Note: Cuttings are not guaranteed to root. For rooting and planting information, read our visual guide. Cuttings may arrive with curled edges, but will recover when planted and given proper care.
One Order = 2X Succulent Cuttings 5.5"-8.0" long
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.
This cactus variety will not survive 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.
