2" Opuntia Rufida Minima Dwarf Prickly Pear Cactus

The Opuntia rufida, also called the dwarf prickly pear, is a compact, attractive cactus with fuzzy, spineless pads covered in tiny reddish-brown glochids. It thrives in full sun, so place it in a bright spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Use well-draining cactus soil and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. It's drought-tolerant, so overwatering should be avoided. This cactus prefers temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and can tolerate occasional cold but should be protected from frost. Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and promote healthy growth.
