SET of 3 Beaver-Tail Prickly Pear Cactus Paddles Opuntia Basilaris FRESH-CUT.

Beavertail cactus likes full sun with reflected heat and is hardy from about nine to fifteen degrees. Plant the cactus in fast-draining, sandy or gravelly soil. This plant needs minimal irrigation when established and only occasional water during the hot, dry season. It does not need any water during the winter months.

Unlike most cactus, Beavertail Cactus (Opuntia basilaris) doesn't usually have any spines. This may come as news to anyone who has had the misfortune to try touching them, because even though they may lack any official "spines," they do have small barbed bristles called glochids, which can easily enter the skin.

I take the Paddles upon purchasing so they will be fresh and will need to scab over before you put in dirt. Handle with care due to the tiny glochids.
