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.

      Easy to use with great results!
      Color: Pink
      I LOVE this like shaver!!! I use the flat face shaver at least once a week now, having PCOS I have A LOT of peach fuzz on my face and I've always had a little mustache I have darker hair so it's more noticeable. Since shaving my face with this little gadget I've noticed my makeup goes on SO MUCH SMOOTHER and doesn't ever look cakey now! My peach fuzz was making my makeup look awful until this! It's SO EASY to use, pain free, gentle on my face skin and bikini area! I've used the bikini head on it too and it worker really well and gave me back smooth skin! The value is unbeatable for the versatility of this gadget and ease of use! It has a charging station that isn't big at all and the whole thing can fit on my purse it's PERFECT for traveling and everyday convenience! I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had to charge it yet! The durability seems good it fits nicely in my hand not to large or small and I can take it on the shower or use it dry!

      Practical, gentle, and worth the price
      Color: Pink
      I’m really happy with this product. It’s small, lightweight, and very easy to use, which makes it perfect for quick touch-ups. It works well on the bikini area without causing irritation, which was something I was a bit worried about at first. The blades seem gentle on the skin but still get the job done effectively. The design is comfortable to hold and gives good control while using it. I also like that it’s discreet and easy to store or carry if needed. The battery life is decent for the size, and I haven’t had any issues so far. Overall, for the price, it’s definitely worth it. If you’re looking for something simple, convenient, and effective, I would recommend giving it a try.

      Great trimmer, easy to use and no irritation
      Color: Pink
      I bought this 3-in-1 electric trimmer for personal use, and I’m honestly very impressed. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and very comfortable to use. What I love the most is that it doesn’t irritate the skin, which is very important, especially for sensitive areas. It comes with multiple attachments, making it very versatile. I’ve used it for the bikini area, underarms, and quick touch-ups, and it works great on all of them. It’s also waterproof, so you can safely use it in the shower, which makes it even more convenient. The battery lasts a good amount of time and charges via USB, which is perfect for travel. It’s also pretty quiet compared to other trimmers.
