How to Plant Opuntia Cactus


Pick a location with 6+ hours of full sun each day and gritty, well-draining soil


Dig a hole about 2"-3" wide and deep to fit bottom third of the pad


Use tongs to lean the pad in the hole (you do not need to refill the hole right away as the roots sprout best surrounded by air)


Wait 3-5 days to water; only re-water when soil is completely dry and do not water at all in winter
