Opuntia
basilaris is native to the Mojave Desert and ranges from San Diego
County to Western Colorado. The pads come in many different sizes and
shapes. This version has large beaver tale or heart shaped pads and
grows natively in Southern Nevada, San Bernardino county California, and
Mojave county Arizona. The flowers are magenta pink. You are bidding on
one pad. Beware of the barbed spines and glochids. Use paper not gloves
when handling. Sections fall off almost to the touch.

Don't
water Prickly Pear Cacti until they grow roots. It may take 30-60 days.
If you water while they are in the soil before roots, they may rot.
However, even though the pad may look dead, it may grow a new pad within
a year. It does not matter which way they are planted. However, you
typically get roots faster when they are laying flat on the soil. The
down side of the pad will begin to grow roots.
We can only ship live plants to the United States of America (USA).
