Until my opuntia becomes self sustaining...ive been searching for pads locally. One grocery said it was a hit or miss proposition another ( a international market) had “cactus fruit”...so I bought some. From what I’ve seen online...the cactus fruit has color ( mostly red ). The ones I got are green. I’m assuming they are not ripe. Can they be fed green? Should I let them ripen? Will they change color like I’ve seen online? Do they need refrigeration or will they ripen on their own left at room temperature?
Thanks in advance!
