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 front pocket wallet/money clip
      Size: One Size, Color: Brown
      This was for my husband’s birthday. He loved it. He’s also a bit picky with his front pocket wallet/money clips. He doesn’t like the money clips with the magnet. This very good and holds a good wad of cash or a few bills without it being loose or him afraid he’s going to loose something. Also has the window for his license. Holds plenty of cards as well.

      Quality
      Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
      Me encantó, love it, looks stylish and feels like a very good quality product made of leather, so far no problems with the size of my cards fitting on it. Only seems to be like top up once you put a lot inside it if not just regular size wallet even a little bit smaller than a regular one

      Great wallet but its a snug fit
      Size: One Size, Color: Black (Hunter)
      Listen to the other reviews! This wallet is ALMOST perfect. It came in 2 days without prime, looks amazing, is slim, and has everything you need in a wallet, except for space. Not that it doesnt have a bunch of card slots because it does, but you cant get the cards in them! It is real leather which is great but it also means its tight. My husband could only fit one card in each slot. He tried to put two cards in the side slots and now we cant get them out. The id slot is a tight fit and the plastic window is so small that once we actually got his license in it, it cuts off his birthday and other important details so he will have to take it out in order to show it, which takes about 2 minutes to remove it. Knowing how real leather works, I know it will stretch out but for the time being I feel bad for whoever is behind him in line. Other than that its a great wallet and he loves the look, feel, and the fact that it has the 2 cash pockets. If it wasnt for the tight fit, it would be 5 stars.
