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.

      Good Product But May Not Be For Everyone
      Style: Standard, Color: Olive
      The look exactly as pictured and described and they’re very nice. Even the small buds feel a bit big for my ears but they fit snug enough to not have to worry about them falling out. They’re relatively comfortable but I haven’t had a change to wear them for long. Either way they seem very much able to stay in your ears. There’s not a lot of adjustability to the ear cuff portion and if you have long hair it’s harder to get them in and they get caught and they to go through your hair. It took me some getting used to on how to put them comfortably but once they’re in they’re very secure. They along with their charging case charge fast and hold charge well. The display telling you percentage is great and the controls seem to be very easy. They’re not great for noise cancelling but I knew that before purchasing because I read the other reviews. Honestly it’s not like you can hear EVEURHING especially if the audio is on but that’s great, especially if you end up using them in public because you’ll be able to pay closer attention to your surroundings. It may not be good if you can’t focus with bleed through noise but just about everything has its trade offs. Overall it’s a very nice product ESPECIALLY for the price. I don’t like scanning QR codes personally so I haven’t registered yet but they do also include a 5 year extended warranty if you feel so inclined.

      Excellent blazer!
      Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
      Very nice fabric. Comfortable throughout chest arms and waist. Very nice shade of grey that goes with everything! Fit was perfect. It claims to be washable but I prefer dry cleaning. All Stitching is hidden and it is fully lined. I wear blazers daily for work and this one is great especially for the price.

      Perfect fit for a medium build 5ft 6
      Size: Medium, Color: Light Grey
      I am happy with this grey color Blazer. The fit is spot on- I am 5’6” medium build, and it fits comfortably without feeling too tight or too loose. The material feels high quality and has a nice weight into it. Making it look more premium than expected. It’s also very comfortable to wear for extended periods, whether for work or going out. Overall great value and a solid addition to my wardrobe. Would definitely recommend!

      Great jacket!
      Size: 4X-Large, Color: Dark Blue
      Nice jacket for warmer weather, very comfortable, fit me well. I'm a big guy and wear a 54 regular in tailored sport coats. The 4XL fit nearly identical to a 54 regular. Adds some class to a nice outfit without making it formal, which is exactly what I was looking for.

      Comfortable & Right Fit
      Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey
      Light Grey, XL *Item returned before use due to color change* Quality every day blazer. Good material didn't feel cheap or come with lose threads. When buttoned the blazer laid flat, I had room in chest and stomach but didn't seem baggy. Shoulders fit across without pinching or buckling around pads. Arm length didn't hang past wrist when arms were at my side and also didn't pull too high when raising. My measurements: More of a solid, muscular build but still very average. 6' 215# Chest 44" (circumference) Shoulders 20" (length taken from back) Waist: 38" (circumference) Arms: 26" (length taken down outside of arm)
