Santa Rita prickly pear in full color

Santa Rita Prickly Pear showing some color. 🌡 #PricklyPearCactus #CactusClique #PlantAddict
10” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 years ago
The two I have are also showing color. The heart shaped one I really like. The other one has a hitchhiker or two growing in the pot with it somehow
i just woke up so i thought the plant’s name was rita for a second πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€
anyway that’s really cool, is it just the prickly pear that does this or do other opuntias do this too πŸ‘€
@strawberrymoon it’s specifically the Santa Rita opuntia version that does this.
@strawberrymoon search online for Santa Rita opuntias and you will see them for sale and all the different pics of them. Weather conditions will change their color purple
@SirLiquorice cool, tysm!! i might get one to put outside, they have such a nice purple/turquoise gradient!
@strawberrymoon yes they look great and are very easy to care for. That’s definitely one of my favorites
@strawberrymoon Palm Buddha nursery has a bunch of your ever in San Antonio Texas
@SirLiquorice i’d love to buy one from an irl store but i’m not from america lol, here in japan we don’t really see prickly pear in nurseries- so i’m probably gonna order it online once the weather is warmer!! ive been holding off on plant purchases in general bc it’s cold and i don’t want them to freeze in the mail
@strawberrymoon www.planetdesert.com is a good place to order. I am not sure if they can send internationally but I would check at least.
