Common Names: Snow Fuzzy Prickly Pear, Fuzzy Opuntia, Snowball Prickly Pear
Appearance
A unique, low-growing prickly pear cactus with soft, white, woolly spines covering its flat, green pads.
The spines are short and velvety, resembling snow or cotton, giving it a fuzzy appearance.
Typically grows up to 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) tall and spreads out with multiple pads.
Care & Growing Conditions
Light: Prefers full sun; bright sunlight enhances the fuzziness and promotes healthy growth.
Soil: Well-draining, sandy or cactus mix soil.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue.
Temperature: Thrives in USDA zones 9-11; protect from temperatures below 25°F (-4°C).
Humidity: Prefers low humidity and dry conditions.
Flower
Produces vibrant yellow or orange flowers in late spring to early summer, blooming at the edges of the pads.
The flowers are followed by small, edible fruits that turn red when ripe.
Toxicity
Non-toxic to humans and pets, but the spines can cause irritation if touched. Handle with care!
Important Note
Each Opuntia 'Snow Fuzzy' is unique, with natural variations in pad size, spine density, and shape. The plant you receive may not be the exact one pictured, but it will be of the same species and quality.
