Rare Opuntia Santa Rita 'Baby' Purple Dwarf Cactus Plant

This is a hard-to-find purple Santa Rita 'Baby' dwarf cactus, aka ‘Purple prickly pear cactus’.

The pads turn deep purple in cold and with increased sun exposure.

Dwarf variety of Opuntia 'Santa Rita', gets 2' tall by 2-3' wide. It will stay even smaller if kept in a pot. Flowers and fruits in Spring / Summer.

You will receive the plant pictured or one almost identical.

Each plant has at least two pads. The picture with the single pad is to show the coloration these get in winter and under stress. 

It is a rooted, well-established cactus currently growing in a 2" container. This cactus ships bare root.

Cactus should be repotted on a warm day, let the roots settle for a day or two in the shade before watering and moving to more sun.

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 cactus without scarring them while repotting.

Care:
Peak growth season; Summer
Dormant: Winter
Propagation: Take cuttings during growth season, Spring is ideal. Pot on a warm, sunny day.

Water when soil is dry to the touch. Will require more water in the Summer.

Your succulent will be wrapped with care and shipped with extra padding in the box. Plants can take 1-5 days to prep for shipping and weather can impact the prep time. We ship as quickly as is safe for your plant.

If you will be experiencing below freezing temperatures, please add a heat pack to your order (available as a separate product).

 

Materials: sand, pea gravel, cactus potting soil, live plant, cactus, real cactus, garden plant, landscape plant, cactus garden.

Hi and welcome! We hope to add some plant joy to your life!
