Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus is a succulent plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. Native to the American Southwest into Mexico. The Santa Rita Prickly Pear is an upright, bushy succulent shrub with colorful, round, ovate, fleshy pads. Covered with spines, the pads turn rich purple in winter before changing back to soft blue gray with warmer temperatures. This purple pad coloration also intensifies in direct sunlight and drought.

In spring, large multi-petalled and yellow flowers appear on the outer edges of the pads, creating a stunning contrast with the purple pads. They are followed by small edible purple fruits that are highly attractive to birds. Frost hardy, Santa Rita Prickly Pear is a very decorative cactus which adds beauty to the garden year-round. Typically grows up to 6-8 ft. tall (180-240 cm) and 8-10 ft. wide (240-300 cm). This low-maintenance plant is a great choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, and cactus gardens. This remarkable plant is deer resistant, tolerates urban pollution and is easy to care for.

 

Care Tips

Light: Santa Rita Prickly Pear in the sun can promote the growth of the plant, for this reason should see more sunlight, but in the summer to shade, to prevent direct sunlight (sunburn injury). For a long time in the non-ventilated cactus, in the dry and hot season it is easy to have red spider harm and show aging like yellow-brown will affect its growth and ornamental value. To avoid the above phenomenon, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place.

Water: Santa Rita Prickly Pear is drought-resistant, watering should be less rather than more, avoid water in the pot, keep half wet can be, June to August is the growth season, want to promote the growth of fast (generally once a day watering). To keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season, and do not water during the dormant period.

Soil: Is mainly loose and breathable loam, so the soil for potted plants can be mixed with sandy loam and coarse sand, and the right amount of fertilizer can be added to the soil as a nutrient for growth.

Potting: Choose a small pot, not a large one, generally as long as it is slightly larger than the shape of the plant. The pot should also have a hole in the ground to facilitate drainage. When planting, do not bury too deep, as long as the stand is stable. It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Temperature is a limiting factor for the natural distribution of cacti, which requires a growth range of 59-104°F (15-40°C), with 68-86°F (20-30°C) being the optimal range. 

Humidity: Santa Rita Prickly Pear grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Great shelves, poor instructions
      Size: 16in 2P, Color: White
      We bought these corner shelves for our son’s nursery, and the quality of the shelves themselves is great. We have plants on the shelves and no scratches even with sliding them on and off weekly to water them. The pots are very big and the plants are pretty heavy so they are holding up quite well. However, the instructions for hanging them were not very clear, and it took us several tries (and some wall damage) before we got them up correctly. We eventually found better guidance from another source. Once installed, though, they look great and feel sturdy.

      Love them!
      Size: 9/10/12in(3P), Color: Oak, Size: 9/10/12in(3P), Color: Oak
      A little difficult to install but only because my corner must not be exactly a 90° angle and that’s not the shelves fault, that’s a me problem! It had multiple parts for different mounting options and even included a level tool for each shelf! They are built very well and super sturdy. I love that I was able to choose the distance between them that fit my plants and the aesthetic. I have 3 good size plants on each of the bottom shelves and it holds them with ease. I also was able to run a grow light cord up through the back and it’s nearly invisible. I’m definitely going to buy more and fill as many corners in my home with more plants!!!

      Good quality corner shelf
      Size: 10in, Color: White
      Good quality corner shelf with included wall anchors for drywall or masonry walls. The paint finish is smooth and has a slight shine. I needed a corner shelf to relocate my modem to a higher location. This is perfect !
