I'm looking for some prickly pear cactus pads for my sulcata...if you have some message me your price and shipping. I have both PayPal and Venmo. Cactus is a hard thing to come by in my neck of the woods...thanks for any help!
If you get some start some as house plants this summer .
Do you have a Hispanic neighborhood nearby?
Most Spanish groceries sell cactus pads.
Jam one or two in a pot of dirt and watch them grow.
It depends. But as long as it doesn't turn yellow or shrivel up, it's growing.Yes, we have a couple of Hispanic grocery stores. I will check with them. I have some that I ordered and planted outside about a month ago. How long should it take to see new growth?
I am not sure about Alaska but if you have Mexican grocery store there, they may have some. I just sat my on top of the soil in any type of pot and leave it out in the sun. It starts rooting and after a while you'll see little baby pads sprouting
I'm thinking of a business plan here. Our local Int'l Market has both cactus and aloe for sale all the time. Large Aloe is $1.29 by the piece and cactus is o/a $1.29/lb. Our Sully loves both, ive found the aloe easier to deal with.
I'd be more than happy to experiment with a " test shipment " to Tort Forum members who need some.
PM me if you're interested. US orders only please.
