This is one very intimidating specimen! It was worth the wait and effort to acquire it.

Nice unboxing video Daz! I love all Opuntias. Well until now. I'm quite terrified of this Molesta! You did an excellent job of potting up the plant and the part that broke off. Thank you for sharing and sending you and Edith peace, love and happiness for a nice evening and a Wonderful upcoming week my friend!

Lovely plant Daz 😎 I've got a very similar one that hasn't got a label, gonna have to have a closer look. It's a good one to hide in someone's underpant draw 😁 Hope you and Edith have a lovely evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵

Watching you pot up cactus 🌵 is my favorite thing rn!

That's a really spiky cactus...I would not even dare touch it! But you did a great job potting them up, they look beautiful now! Thanks for sharing! Have a great afternoon and evening Daz and Edith!

Mean those spines! 😮😅

Yep!! That's a wicked one!!! Hahaha!! I think for safeties sake I might have given a wider pot. That one looks like it's ready to bite!!! I remember from both Sonoran and Mojave deserts our shoes used to pick pieces of different chollas. Had a lady I did yard work for when I lived in Tucson as a kid, she wanted a full size cholla ( cylindropuntia fulgida) planted under her bedroom window cause she had prowler. So I had to dig one from the wash ( dry creek bed) next to her house. What a job!!! Had them in my knees and hands!! I wouldn't do it again if I had to!!! Ouch!!!! Hahaha!!! Yep , got fond memories of these guys!!! Thanks for sharing Daz!!! Great job handling that little monster!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to the UK 🇬🇧 and Singapore 🇸🇬 have a wonderful week ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌿🌻🌳🌸🍀🌴🌾💐🌱🌷🌹😃👍

Yikes! I was half expecting to see blood. 😮 But I’m glad there was none. 😊 That is a good looking plant you got. It has so much character to it. ❤🌵

Wow, what a beast

Very sharp!

Wow, spectacular plant! 🌵😃

Will you call him Sid.................Vicious ? 🙂

Beautiful cati ouch

Very deadly

Wow,that was really deadly spikey cactus you have Daz,great to be in your collection.

I think that's the spikiest cactus I have ever seen.

Oh wow! I love, totally looove, the colours of the spines😃🧡🙌! 'Molesta' means 'Annoying' in spanish, hahaha😂, so well named the species 😝. Great purchase👌☺️👏👏👏💞!

That was alot of spines, its going to be a right beast when it gets bigger! I was expecting the roots to be a lot thicker, interesting to see lots of fine roots 😄 enjoyed the video 😀🌵

Hi there, just dropping in to tell you I really enjoy your videos and your plant collection! I wasn't sold on this plant until your presentation of it at the end, it is fierce isn't it? Thanks for sharing!

That looks like it would put a serious hurting on a person, one of the more interesting cacti in my opinion, I have a Cylindropuntia cylindrica, made the mistake of grabbing a small cutting with my fingers, let's just say I have a very, very healthy respect for that cacti now. And yes, please keep us updated on it's progress, you and Edith have a great week.

Interesting video. Might leave this one till I have more experience. I am low on the learning curve. With spring approaching I will be repotting a few of my cacti soon and gain a little experience. Love the cinematics at the end of your videos

YIKES!!!!!!!!

Ouch! 😂

That sure is a prickly one😅👹It reminds me when I used to grow Tephrocacti, and when I bumped my hand into them the spines would stick in my skin. I even had an Opuntia microdasys years ago, and one day I was going to work and noticed a terrible itch in my underwear😰I stopped at every toilet to investigate, but couldn't find anything. It wasn't until I got home that my wife said that my underwear blew off the line and onto my Opuntia😂🙌

Looks like you'll need some chainmail gloves!

Hahahah loved the unboxing, your reaction to seeing the plant was fantastic. I swore when you opened it too 😂😂😂

Deadly monster, looks pretty though😊

What a beautiful beast! I’m up for getting one for the challenge!

That’s one beautiful cactus. Is it related to the jumping cholla cactus

This is the one that hurts the most of my Collection, is it cilyndropuntia tunicata? It stucks to the skin

Oh yes... Teddy-bear cholla... I think everyone knows it by reputation and from David Attenborough's video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qK4G2KpmqFU.html Your molesta may have the same type of spines but less densely distributed. It would be interesting to see one them in high magnification, if you happen to have access to a microscope... The question is how big it will grow? That is, at which point you will not be able to handle this cactus any more... ;-)

molesta in spanish means annoying 😂😂
