PAD - Opuntia 'Sunburst' - (one, 4-6" each)
Unrooted Rare Opuntia 'Sunburst' Cactus Pad
Opuntia ‘Sunburst’ is a rare bright yellow cactus. This listing is for one gorgeous Opuntia ‘Sunburst’ cactus pad (you root them by planting them in cactus soil, ideally on a warm day). We have some gorgeous ones growing almost-too-happy, so why not spread some cacti love?
This listing is for one real live cactus pad (4-6" each), the pad is unrooted. It will root easily when planted in gritty, well-draining soil.
This cactus can grow quickly, especially when planted in ground. If planted in a container, the cactus size will be more contained. Pads can be removed to start new plants or keep cactus pruned.
This rare cactus plant gets some pink coloration in cold temperatures or extensive sun exposure. They make great potted plants.
Pads should be planted in the dirt on a warm day, after they have fully calloused (the wound has dried over where they were cut).
Handling tips: Wet the pad before planting (keeps the tiny hair-like prickers from flying) and use kitchen tongs - with rubber covers over the tips - to handle the pads without scarring them while repotting.
