Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus is a succulent plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. Native to the American Southwest into Mexico. The Santa Rita Prickly Pear is an upright, bushy succulent shrub with colorful, round, ovate, fleshy pads. Covered with spines, the pads turn rich purple in winter before changing back to soft blue gray with warmer temperatures. This purple pad coloration also intensifies in direct sunlight and drought.

In spring, large multi-petalled and yellow flowers appear on the outer edges of the pads, creating a stunning contrast with the purple pads. They are followed by small edible purple fruits that are highly attractive to birds. Frost hardy, Santa Rita Prickly Pear is a very decorative cactus which adds beauty to the garden year-round. Typically grows up to 6-8 ft. tall (180-240 cm) and 8-10 ft. wide (240-300 cm). This low-maintenance plant is a great choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, and cactus gardens. This remarkable plant is deer resistant, tolerates urban pollution and is easy to care for.

 

Care Tips

Light: Santa Rita Prickly Pear in the sun can promote the growth of the plant, for this reason should see more sunlight, but in the summer to shade, to prevent direct sunlight (sunburn injury). For a long time in the non-ventilated cactus, in the dry and hot season it is easy to have red spider harm and show aging like yellow-brown will affect its growth and ornamental value. To avoid the above phenomenon, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place.

Water: Santa Rita Prickly Pear is drought-resistant, watering should be less rather than more, avoid water in the pot, keep half wet can be, June to August is the growth season, want to promote the growth of fast (generally once a day watering). To keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season, and do not water during the dormant period.

Soil: Is mainly loose and breathable loam, so the soil for potted plants can be mixed with sandy loam and coarse sand, and the right amount of fertilizer can be added to the soil as a nutrient for growth.

Potting: Choose a small pot, not a large one, generally as long as it is slightly larger than the shape of the plant. The pot should also have a hole in the ground to facilitate drainage. When planting, do not bury too deep, as long as the stand is stable. It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Temperature is a limiting factor for the natural distribution of cacti, which requires a growth range of 59-104°F (15-40°C), with 68-86°F (20-30°C) being the optimal range. 

Humidity: Santa Rita Prickly Pear grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Beautiful Wallet
      Color: With NO Logo - Smooth Nappa Black
      Well constructed and beautiful wallet. The black Nappa leather I ordered is soft and smooth to the touch and you can tell by the look, feel, and smell that it is high quality. I love that you can order this with both a logo and no logo for a clean look. The design on this is well thought out. I'd definitely recommend this wallet to anyone. It is an amazing value and far superior to any other $30 wallet I've ever seen.

      Almost perfect!
      Color: With Coin Pocket - Forest Brown
      I purchased this wallet primarily for its generous number of conveniently located slots and its coin pocket. If you can't fit everything you want to EDC in this wallet, you need to think about getting a sling bag! Having returned the same model in Grizzily Brown due to a stitching defect and ordered this one in Forest Brown, I can see it is a richer, lighter shade and the finish seems smoother and more refined. Some of my cards were tight in previous wallet slots, but everything fits great in this one. Why the one star off? First, this wallet is about a quarter inch too large in all dimensions, especially thickness. While it doesn't protrude out the top of my back pocket, it is a challenge to close the button on some pants and it is also snug side-to-side, so removal involves some wiggling until pockets stretch and the wallet breaks in. The leather used in its construction is smooth but stiff at first, given that it is about twice as thick as most American or European wallet leather I've owned: think bullhide. The smell is also a little off, definitely natural cowhide but processed with whatever is used to tan leather in India rather than in the United States. Finally, this looks like something that belongs in a pair of jeans or casual pants, NOT pulled out of a suit at a Michelin star restaurant. The stitching, evenness of dye and lines are far from perfect, but what it lacks in looks it more than makes up for in every day function, character, and anticipated durability.

      The Best Wallet
      Color: Boulder Black - Napa Smooth Black
      This is the second wallet I have purchased from Bull Guard. The first one is identical and I have used it for approximately one year. The first wallet has held up perfectly. I just decided to buy a second one because I am so happy with the first one and I decided to break up my cards into frequently used in the second, new wallet and less frequently used in the first and older wallet. The capacity of the wallet is excellent. It easily holds all my credit cards, drivers license, bills, insurance ID cards, and my global entry card. The material, workmanship, durability, and quality is also excellent. The wallet is all leather and breaks in perfectly. The size is also perfect fitting perfectly in my rear pocket. For the price, this is the best man's wallet I have ever had and I highly recommend it.

      Solid Wallet
      Color: Wild Buffalo Grey
      I recently purchased the ULL GUARD Buffalo Leather Wallet, and I’m genuinely impressed with its quality and craftsmanship. The buffalo leather feels durable and premium—this is a wallet that looks like it’ll stand the test of time. What I love about it: - Thoughtful Billfold Design: The bill compartment includes a separator, which is perfect for organizing cash and checks separately. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference. - Plenty of Storage: There are numerous credit card slots, making it easy to keep all your cards neatly arranged and accessible. - Clear ID Pocket: The transparent ID slot is a convenient touch, especially for quick access to your driver’s license or work badge. Overall, this wallet combines functionality with rugged style. If you're looking for something that’s both practical and built to last, the ULL GUARD Buffalo Leather Wallet is a solid choice.
