This unusual plant will work perfectly at home or the workplace and is perfect for beginners or busy individuals as requires minimum care and thrives neglected!

Easy to care, beautiful opuntia cactus. This plant thrives neglected in full sun and doesn’t require lots of water.

How often should I water my Opuntia Ficus Indica Prickly Pear Cactus?: Water sparingly every 3-4 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During winter, reduce watering to once every 6 weeks.
Can this cactus be placed in an office environment?: Absolutely! It thrives in full to medium light, making it an ideal choice for well-lit office spaces. Just ensure it’s near a window that receives ample daylight.
Is the Opuntia Ficus Indica suitable for beginners?: Yes, it’s excellent for beginners due to its low maintenance requirements. It’s resilient and can thrive even if occasionally neglected, making it perfect for those new to plant care.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️☀️ (High)

The Opuntia Ficus Indica Prickly Pear Cactus loves to bask in the sun. Place it in a spot where it can enjoy full sunlight for most of the day. A south-facing window would be ideal for this sun-loving cactus.

? Water

?▫️▫️ (Low)

Water sparingly—this cactus prefers to stay on the dry side. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to once a month or less, depending on the humidity in your home.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Opuntia thrives in typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 15°C and 25°C. It can tolerate higher temperatures, especially in the summer, but keep it away from draughty areas in winter.

? Humidity

?▫️▫️ (Low)

This cactus is not a fan of high humidity. Normal room humidity or lower is perfect, making it a fuss-free companion for most homes and offices.

? Repotting

Opuntia Ficus Indica grows relatively slow and doesn’t need frequent repotting. Consider repotting every 2-3 years to provide fresh soil and a little more room for growth. Use a well-draining cactus mix to ensure optimal health.

? Pet Friendliness

Be cautious with pets around this plant as it has spines that can be sharp. It’s best placed out of reach of curious paws and little hands.

? Recommended locations at home

This cactus makes a striking addition to areas with abundant sunlight such as sunrooms, bright kitchens, or near south-facing windows. It also makes an attractive, low-maintenance desk plant in sunny office environments.

✨ Other Plant Features

Opuntia Ficus Indica is not only a visually intriguing plant but also one with a resilient nature, thriving on neglect. While it may occasionally bloom with delightful flowers, each plant’s flowering stage may vary, adding a unique surprise element when it does.

If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask Mossbot on our site or contact us directly through our website. Remember, we offer a free plant hospital service if your prickly friend ever feels under the weather!

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.
