There’s a teeny little air plant growing on my cactus! So adorable! 😍πŸ₯°πŸ’š #Florida #AirPlant #Cactus
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago
Prickly Pear is at the top of my wanted list
@Mike17102 Oh yeah? That’s cool! I love it. I’ve had it for several years - it’s been through a couple of hurricanes and floods, sitting under water for hours, at least. But it perseveres! Pretty amazing.

They’re so easy to propagate, too. I wish I could just send you a cutting.
@Mike17102 The tips are starting to get the color now. This plant has a lot of battle scars but I still love it! One of my few cactus plants that has survived here in Florida.
Awesome 😎!!!
@LaneyLichen mighty determined plant to survive all that.. I am in Pennsylvania where it would have to be kept indoors unfortunately for it
@Mike17102 I don’t think that it would mind being inside if you gave it enough light and then maybe put it outside during summer. I do get a little blinded by the ease of growing certain plants here, forgetting it doesn’t get quite as hot and rainy every else, but this is a cactus that really has no business doing so well here! So you never know.
