I’m growing some Florida- grown very spineless Opuntia pads that were kindly shipped up here by @Ray--Opo . I used a mix of course potting soil, nothing fancy. The pads were all plucked from the main plants & were nicely scarified where the roots should grow.
You can see how many pads I planted up & just this week I’m starting to see the initial stages of some new growth. None have died yet, and all are still pretty plump. Ive given just a bit of water to the pots to encourage root growth.
Tomorrow starts Summer heat, with 90 degree days, so more growth expected!
