Looking for Opuntia Ficus Indica

Post by manmtn7 »

I am new to the forum, and fairly new to collecting Cacti. I was wondering if there is anyone who would be willing to send me an Opuntia Ficus-Indica pad for the cost of shipping. Thanks in advance.

Are you from New Mexico? Check the produce aisle at your grocery store, they most likely have some there.

Ive read that the ones at the grocery store are generally too young to plant. Is that not true?

They should be fine. Just keep it out of direct sunlight until they get established.

I have several plants needing a good pruning.

I have some seedlings growing. I used the seeds from a cactus pear bought at the grocery store.
