Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus is a succulent plant of the genus Opuntia in the Cactaceae family. Native to the American Southwest into Mexico. The Santa Rita Prickly Pear is an upright, bushy succulent shrub with colorful, round, ovate, fleshy pads. Covered with spines, the pads turn rich purple in winter before changing back to soft blue gray with warmer temperatures. This purple pad coloration also intensifies in direct sunlight and drought.

In spring, large multi-petalled and yellow flowers appear on the outer edges of the pads, creating a stunning contrast with the purple pads. They are followed by small edible purple fruits that are highly attractive to birds. Frost hardy, Santa Rita Prickly Pear is a very decorative cactus which adds beauty to the garden year-round. Typically grows up to 6-8 ft. tall (180-240 cm) and 8-10 ft. wide (240-300 cm). This low-maintenance plant is a great choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, and cactus gardens. This remarkable plant is deer resistant, tolerates urban pollution and is easy to care for.

 

Care Tips

Light: Santa Rita Prickly Pear in the sun can promote the growth of the plant, for this reason should see more sunlight, but in the summer to shade, to prevent direct sunlight (sunburn injury). For a long time in the non-ventilated cactus, in the dry and hot season it is easy to have red spider harm and show aging like yellow-brown will affect its growth and ornamental value. To avoid the above phenomenon, it should be placed in a well-ventilated place.

Water: Santa Rita Prickly Pear is drought-resistant, watering should be less rather than more, avoid water in the pot, keep half wet can be, June to August is the growth season, want to promote the growth of fast (generally once a day watering). To keep the soil moist, pay attention to drainage during the rainy season, and do not water during the dormant period.

Soil: Is mainly loose and breathable loam, so the soil for potted plants can be mixed with sandy loam and coarse sand, and the right amount of fertilizer can be added to the soil as a nutrient for growth.

Potting: Choose a small pot, not a large one, generally as long as it is slightly larger than the shape of the plant. The pot should also have a hole in the ground to facilitate drainage. When planting, do not bury too deep, as long as the stand is stable. It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Temperature is a limiting factor for the natural distribution of cacti, which requires a growth range of 59-104°F (15-40°C), with 68-86°F (20-30°C) being the optimal range. 

Humidity: Santa Rita Prickly Pear grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Syrup
      Flavor Name: Vanilla
      The Torani Vanilla Coffee Syrup is a great value and a nice, generous size. The vanilla flavor is smooth and works well in coffee and other drinks. I really appreciate that it comes with a pump—it makes dispensing easy and mess-free once it’s set up. However, it’s important to note that when you first insert the pump into a new, full bottle, the syrup can spill over due to the displacement. I recommend placing the bottle in the sink or removing a small amount of syrup before inserting the pump. Overall, a solid product with great flavor and convenience, just be cautious during the initial setup.

      Makes delicious iced coffee!
      Flavor Name: Vanilla, Flavor Name: Vanilla
      Im someone who likes their coffee to actually taste like coffee and I love this syrup. I’ve been making iced coffee at home almost daily lately, and this vanilla syrup is the only one I keep reaching for. The flavor is smooth and sweet without tasting artificial, and it actually tastes good in iced drinks instead of getting lost in the coffee. The pump also makes it really easy to use without the sticky mess. My current go-to drink: • 2 pumps vanilla syrup • Double espresso pod • Pour over lots of ice • Splash of almond milk • Finish with brown sugar creamer Your bank account will thank me!!!

      Syrup is excellent, the pump is dramatic
      Flavor Name: Vanilla
      I am marking 5 for the syrup itself, my favorite syrup. In regards of the pump, a little too dramatic for me and it will go everywhere. I would rather pour the syrup, including I found the pump will leak and there was a ring of syrup around the base of the bottle. Perfect for a coffee shop, but not for a basic kitchen....but I am picky about syrup splattering because the sugar ants are a nightmare.

      Compact snacks you won’t give back!
      Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 29 Ounce (Pack of 1)
      Super tasty! I actually didn’t realize I could get something like this since most in person stores I’ve never seen these specific combo of flavors together. I personally love the pretzels and getting them in actual lunch snack sizes for work or just to grab for a quick snack on the go is the best thing and makes my day! Perfect size to fulfill a craving and there’s plenty in there even for 2 kids or adults to take to school work or just a tasty on the go snack! Pricing was great for the size and amount of snacks you get and definitely still has that flavorful salty delicious good fish crackers taste while still being fresh and providing that perfect crunch and texture of the regular or jumbo box version.

      Perfect Grab-and-Go Snack Variety for Any Day
      Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 29 Ounce (Pack of 1)
      If snacks had personalities, this box would be the life of the party! The Goldfish Big Smiles Variety Pack is 1 of those rare things that live up to the "variety" promise. You get the classic cheddar (my kid's fav), the colorful ones that somehow make snack time feel more fun, and the pretzels for when you want a little crunch break from all that cheese. The individual packs are perfect for tossing into a purse, lunchbox, and keep some in the car for when the girls get out of school and they are dying for something to eat. Taste-wise - you already know what you're getting: the familiar, slightly salty, slightly cheesy comfort that somehow never gets old. The pretzels add a nice switch-up so it's not repetitive. Only downside? You'll wish the bags were bigger. Every. Time. Overall - it's a solid go-to snack that works for busy days, road trips, or just sitting on the couch pretending you'll only eat 1 pack. Would absolutely buy again (and probably hide a few packs for myself next time).
