Prickly pear cactus (or Opuntia) is among the most widespread cactus genus. With over 40 species, this plant is best characterized by flat, club-shaped pads that contain spines (hence the name "prickly pear"). Prickly pears are most prized for their edibility, as they grow cactus fruit (or tunas).
As a desert cactus, prickly pears require maximum sunlight to thrive and should be kept in direct sunlight whenever possible. Prickly pears are easy to grow. They need well-drained soil and can survive on rainwater after established.
