DESCRIPTION
You will receive approximately 4" pot-sized plant similar in the photos.
This item will be shipped bare root or in original plastic pots, whichever is better for the plant. We handpick to order and make sure all are healthy plants before shipping.

Opuntia × basilaris ‘Baby Rita’ is a compact, cold-hardy hybrid prickly pear cactus known for its stunning seasonal color changes and small size. This beautiful cultivar is a cross between Opuntia basilaris (Beavertail Cactus) and another cold-tolerant Opuntia species, resulting in a plant that’s both visually striking and resilient.

The pads are round to oval-shaped and emerge in shades of soft purple and pink, especially in cooler temperatures or full sun. New growth often displays vibrant magenta tones. In spring, it produces cheerful yellow to pale pink flowers that contrast beautifully with the colorful pads.

Care Requirements:

  • Light: Full sun for best color and growth.
  • Water: Very drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy or gritty soil.
  • Temperature: Extremely cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as -10°F (-23°C); USDA zones 5–10.
  • Growth Habit: Low-growing and clumping, typically reaching 8–12 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide.

Special Features:

  • Vibrant purple/pink pads with seasonal color variation
  • Cold-hardy and drought-tolerant
  • Low maintenance and ideal for rock gardens, desert landscapes, or container growing

Works for dry mouth
Suffer from dry mouth and these disc size tablets stick to my gums, helping keep my mouth moist through the night. Brown side sticks to your gum. Contain xylitol so s little sweet. Dentist recommended them.

PRICEY and sometimes don’t stay in place!
These have a wonderful mild flavor, no mint burn, moisten your mouth for several hours, and generally always stay put, in fact if you want it out before fully dissolved, it takes a little effort with your fingernail, because they are supposed to stick and stay in place! ALSO, I DO NOT PUT ON MY GUMLINE LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY, I STICK ON THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH FOR DISCREET CONFORT!! I really do recommend for DRY MOUTH!! I DO NOT CARE FOR THE SHARP EDGY METAL INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING AT ALL, but the bottle is very pricey!!

Absolutely work!
These are absolutely fantastic. Bygone are the days of sucking on some sugary sweet Candy. Xylo melts stick as they say they do. I have found that they don't stick to artificial teeth as well. They last for hours they're comfortable. The mint ones aren't overpowering. These are a dry mouth blessing. For sure use them at night and during the day.

Invaluable sleep/ dry mouth aid
Cannot live even one night without these Xylimelts. Taste great. Stick well to mouth. Remember: poisonous to dogs. Now we have a dog so I no longer buy the bottles of loose melts as I can spill in middle of night and lose track. Extremely nerve wracking. Using the sheets of melts which you punch out one at a time. Easier to insure dog’s safety.

They may have saved my life!
These are fantastic for people with dry mouth! They have been a lifesaver for me. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone! I carry them in my bag as well. Thanks to the one who invented them. I feel normal again!!! Easy to pop in mouth and they last overnight too.
