5 Things You Ought To Know About Your Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia Cacti). Care, Repot + More! 4K 

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.

Just what I needed thanks Tyler, I'll repot mine after christmas :D
