☀️ 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
