2" Opuntia Consolea Rubiscens (Roadkill Cactus)

Only the 2 pictured are available. Priced each.
Add a touch of the exotic to your plant collection with the Roadkill Cactus, scientifically known as Consolea rubescens. Native to the Caribbean islands, this unique cactus earns its quirky name from its flattened, paddle-like pads that often grow horizontally, giving the appearance of something flattened on the road. Its unusual shape and striking silhouette make it a standout piece in any succulent or cactus assortment.
 
Care Instructions:
 
Light: Thrives in bright light to full sun. Place it in a sunny window or outdoors where it can soak up plenty of sunlight.
 
Watering: Highly drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
 
Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal to prevent excess moisture retention.
 
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and is not frost-tolerant. Keep it indoors during cold weather if you live in a cooler climate.
 
Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer.
 
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous over for a few days before planting.
 
With minimal care requirements and a conversation-starting appearance, the Roadkill Cactus is perfect for both novice gardeners and cactus enthusiasts alike.
