Healthy Live Joseph's Coat Cactus in 2 Plastic Pot
Native to South America, Opuntia monacantha, also known as Barbary fig, cochineal prickly pear, or drooping prickly pear, is an erect fleshy succulent plant that can grow up to 16 feet (5 m) tall. Its big trunk grows flat round-shaped branches at the top with drooping upper branches, all adorned with multiple pointy spines of about 1-3 inches (3-7 cm) long that might grow in groups of 2 or 3. The plant's small leaves are shed annually, while it produces showy yellow or orange-red flowers from late spring to early autumn. The fruits of O. monacantha are green when immature, turning into fleshy purple-red berries as they age.
Opuntia monacantha requires full sun and a hot, dry atmosphere, and therefore only needs a very low amount of water. Overwatering could lead to root rot, so it's important to ensure that the plant is in porous and well-drained potting soil. This species can be propagated either by cuttings or by seed, making it a relatively easy plant for beginners to grow.
In terms of care, it is essential to provide direct sunlight and use an all-purpose plant food during the growing season. However, it's important to note that the plants may not be identical to the photos as they are live plants and may grow differently throughout the year. Additionally, colorful plants may fade due to being in a dark box for several days during shipping, but they should brighten back up with the correct lighting and care. The plants may also arrive in various sizes based on health, availability, season, and readiness.
