It was a big surprise for me to find this cactus on beaches in New Jersey.I brought one home to Toronto -trying to grow this cactus-like home plant. Thanks, Tyler for sharing valuable information.

I live in north Texas, found one of these with 3 nodes barely rooted on a walking trail. Picked it up, threw it in my trunk, and forgot about it for like 3 months. Rediscovered it, and put it in a pot of old soil from a dead rosemary plant I sprouted 3 years before. I've had it for a year, this thing has like 3 separate "branches" now, each one about 3 feet long. It's just growing in $4 hardware store top soil. I water it maybe 5 times a year. When I do water it though, I flood it out. It's potted in a container about 3x the volume of what is in the video, and I'll dump about 3/4 of a gallon of water into it. Other than that, it just sits there on the hot concrete, baking in the sun, chillin in 100+ degree weather. I only water it from July to September. After that, it just kinda hangs out and does whatever. Seems happy though.

I've just bought a Opuntia var santa rita. The purple/lilac colour is stunning, to me anyway lol. Have you eaten prickly pear? What does it taste like if you did?

[@TylerMossop]

I think I’ve have - or at least had a prickly pear margarita?!

Why are my prickly cacti g4owing like a vine. They are spreading all 9ver the window sill.

[@markr5758]

I’ve got an oputunia and it just keep growing up and up it’s probably about 40cm long, what should I do?

[@indygrammy]

I also have a very tall and thin prickly pear, maybe about 15 inches. Can I cut it off and let it callus over?

[@Tony.795]

@@indygrammy Opuntias need lots of sun or they will etiolate.
