Introducing the fabulous Prickly pear cactus, also known as 'Opuntia sulphurea,' a vibrant member of the Opuntia genus! But don't let its prickly exterior fool you - these prickly pears varieties are surprisingly easy to care for and can even thrive in less-than-ideal conditions.  

Native to South America, this vibrant low-growing shrub spreads out like an enthusiastic explorer. It has paddle-shaped stems that are covered in spines and small, hair-like structures called glochids. The stems are typically blue-green in color and can grow up to 12 inches long and stretch their arms up to an astounding 6.6 feet in diameter.  Its joints are thick, oblong to obovate in shape, with a smooth glabrous texture that's simply irresistible.  Sometimes they flaunt a stunning shade of purplish hues but usually stick with their trusty green attire. But wait, there's more!  

Brace yourself for the spines that are dense, stiff, and initially whitish but evolve into hues ranging from yellowish all the way to brownish or ravishing red as they mature. It produces bright yellow prickly pear flowers in the spring and summer.

This Opuntia produces edible fruit in the fall, and it is commonly used in Mexican cuisine and can be eaten raw or cooked. In addition to its culinary uses, the prickly pear cactus has a number of medicinal benefits and is used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments.  

The Opuntia sulphurea is a popular cactus for gardeners because of its unique appearance and low maintenance requirements.

Watering Needs

Many cacti, like the prickly pear cactus, thrive when cared for properly by using the "soak and dry" technique. Allowing the soil to completely dry out in between waterings is crucial because overwatering can lead to the roots rot. During the summer months, you should water your cactus once in 2-3 weeks, and during the winter months, you can reduce watering to once a month.  

It's also important to note that the Opuntia sulphurea is a drought-tolerant plant, meaning it can survive extended periods of time without water. In fact, overwatering is one of the most common causes of death for this prickly cactus. When watering your prickly pear, it's best to use a watering can or a hose with a soft spray nozzle to avoid damaging the stems or flowers. Remember, it's a good idea to avoid getting water on the stem of the cactus, as this can cause damage or discoloration.

Light Requirements  

The prickly pear Opuntia sulphurea prefers bright, direct sunlight, and it's important to place it in a location where it can receive at least six hours of sunlight per day. If you're growing your opuntia cactus indoors, it's a good idea to place it near a sunny window or under a grow light.  

It's also important to note that this prickly pear can tolerate some shade, but it won't thrive in low-light conditions. If you notice that your cactus is growing tall and leggy, it may be a sign that it's not getting enough sunlight. In this case, you should move it to a sunnier location or provide additional artificial light.  

Additionally, it's important to protect your Opuntia sulphurea from extreme heat or cold. If you live in an area with hot, dry summers, you should provide some shade for your cactus during the hottest part of the day.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The prickly pear cactus prefers well-drained soil, so it's important to use a cactus mix that contains sand or perlite to help with drainage. You can also add some gravel or pebbles to the bottom of the pot to help with drainage. Here at Planet Desert, we have a specialty-formulated cacti potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive.  

As for fertilizer, it's best to use a low-nitrogen fertilizer specifically designed for cacti. You should fertilize your Opuntia cactus once a year during the growing season (spring). It's important not to over-fertilize your cactus, as this can cause damage to the roots or even kill the prickly pear plant. 

Hardiness Zone & More

Typically grown in hot, arid desert regions, the opuntia cactus thrives indoors in warm, dry surroundings. If you live in USDA regions 9 to 11, you can also grow these cacti outdoors year-round, but they are not cold- or frost-tolerant, so you should plant them indoors or put them in a pot and move them indoors during the winter if you live outside of these regions. Keep your prickly pear away from cold, drafty windows and air vents if you are growing it indoors in a cold climate. 

In terms of humidity, the prickly pear cactus is a drought-tolerant plant and can tolerate dry conditions. However, it's important to avoid exposing your cactus to extreme humidity or moisture, as this can cause damage or disease.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
