"Alberto" (Opuntia Monacantha)
Alberto is an Opuntia Monacantha, also known as Joseph's Coat Cactus. It's a vibrant, eye-catching cactus with colorful variegated pads in shades of green, yellow, and pink. It grows relatively fast for a cactus and can reach up to 10-15 feet outdoors, though it stays smaller as a houseplant. Alberto comes in a beautiful handpainted cermic mug.
