Introducing the Prickly Pear (Opuntia cochenillifera) Organic Cactus Plant by Smoke Camp Crafts! You will receive one rooted pad from our established prickly pear plant, carefully potted in a 2.5-inch container. This stunning cactus not only produces vibrant pink flowers atop its smooth green pads but also thrives as a large, shrubby plant in frost-free environments. A unique addition to any garden, it serves as a host for the cochineal scale, traditionally used for making red food dye. Please handle with care, as the pads are adorned with irritating hairs.
